Before starting your submission please make sure that your manuscript is formatted in accordance to the Author Guidelines.
Please note that the maximum file size that may be uploaded through our online submission system is 20 MB.
Manuscripts submitted to this journal must be divided into separate files (not larger than 20 MB each) to allow their processing by our software. Before attempting an online submission, please consider preparing the following file types:
1. Submission file
Review version of the manuscript in PDF format, with all figures embedded, total file size not larger than 20 MB
2. Additional files
Original text file and high-resolution figures must be submitted during the same submission process as additional files (Step 4) in one of the accepted file formats (see below). These may be compressed in order to reduce bandwidth during upload:
- Text of the manuscript (DOC, DOCX, RTF, OpenDocument Format, ODF) with tables embedded in the text)
- Figures (each figure as an individual file in one of the following image file formats: EPS, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, not larger than 20 MB each
- Equations (each equation as an individual file in one of the above mentioned image file formats)
3. Supplementary files (appendices)
Large datasets or multimedia files, usually published as appendices in conventional print journals, should be uploaded as supplementary files, completed with associated metadata on the online submission form. Supplementary files should have their own legends and will be referenced as appendices under separate DOI numbers.
Most file formats are accepted. Text-only appendices must be in DOC, DOCX, RTF, or ODF formats.
