Submit multiple panels as individual files. References in figures are ordered according to the first citation of the figure in text. Number figures consecutively in the text if an article has only 1 figure, do not number it. Figure revisions may be required during review or production editing. Be prepared to submit final figures in the native, editable format (e.g., Excel files for figures created in Microsoft Excel) during production editing (after the article has been accepted for publication). Use SI units or other common units of measure.įigures should be submitted for review as high-resolution (600 dots per inch ) TIFF or JPEG files. Units should not be repeated in every cell but should be noted once in the column head.
Place a period at the end of each footnote. No space is used between a footnote symbol and the footnote.
If the table requires >6 footnotes, use double (e.g., **, ††) symbols. Use the following symbols in the order shown to indicate footnotes: M and F do not need to be defined when used to mean male and female.ĭo not use virgules e.g., NA, ND, not N/A, N/D. Also explain any use of boldface in a footnote. Terms may be abbreviated within the table and defined in a footnote all abbreviated terms may be defined in the same footnote. Tables should be self-explanatory therefore, spell out terms even if they have been introduced in the text. Capitalize the first word after a symbol. Capitalize only the first word of each column header. Use abbreviations as needed for space (see below). Avoid using abbreviations in titles, but when necessary to do so, explain abbreviation in a footnote, not in the title. Titles should contain enough information to stand alone (e.g., populations, dates, locations) but should not repeat information in column or row heads. Capitalize the first letter of the title and do not include a period at the end. Place the title above, not below, the table. Table titles should be brief but self-explanatory. Vertical rules are never used, and tables are never displayed in landscape (sideways) orientation. If necessary for readability, horizontal rules may also be used to group categories of information within the body of the table. Horizontal rules are used to set off column heads. If a table cell contains text, only the first word should begin with a capital letter. Tables should be arranged with like data (e.g., organism name, antibody titer) in columns. Tables that exceed maximum width should be truncated or included for online publication only. Tables are set in 8-point Arial font and may be no wider than 17 cm. References in tables are ordered according to the first citation of the table in text. Tables may not be separated into subdivisions (Table 1A and Table 1B) instead, split into 2 tables. Number tables consecutively in the text if an article has only 1 table, do not number it. Do not use any other program or tabs or spaces to align columns. Tables must be created by using the Microsoft Word table tool, not by using tabs and spaces or in Microsoft Excel.
