Figure Numbering

• All figures are to be numbered using Arabic numerals.
• Figures should always be cited in text in consecutive numerical order.
• Figure parts should be denoted by lowercase letters (a, b, c, etc.).
• If an appendix appears in your article and it contains one or more figures, continue the consecutive numbering of the main text.

Figure Captions

• Each figure should have a concise caption describing accurately what the figure depicts. Include the captions in the text file of the manuscript, not in the figure file.
• Figure captions begin with the term Fig. in bold type, followed by the figure number, also in bold type.
• No punctuation is to be included after the number, nor is any punctuation to be placed at the end of the caption.
• Identify all elements found in the figure in the figure caption; and use boxes, circles, etc., as coordinate points in graphs.

Permissions for Earlier Published Figures

• If you include figures that have already been published elsewhere, you must obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format. Please be aware that some publishers do not grant electronic rights for free and we will not be able to refund any costs that may have occurred to receive these permissions. In such cases, material from other sources should be used.
• Photographs and illustrations: Image files should be optimized to the minimum possible size without compromising on the quality. The photos and illustrations should have a resolution of 300 dpi (minimum)
• Colour figures should be used when details cannot be adequately observed on black and white photographs
• Authors pay the full cost for the reproduction of their colour artwork in the print issue
• Figures that are black-and-white in the print issue but colour in the online version are free of charge
• Abbreviations should be expanded the first time they appear in the text and the abbreviation should be placed first followed by the full form in brackets. The full out should be given only the first time they appear in the text.
