Electronic artwork: JAnat only accepts submission of electronic artwork. The journal accepts the
following formats only:
(1) GRAPHS, CHARTS and MAPS as Encapsulated Postscript Format (.eps).
The best results are obtained with software applications that can output EPS format (Systat SigmaPlot;
Adobe Illustrator; CorelDraw; Deneba Canvas; Macromedia Freehand); and
(2) PHOTOGRAPHS in Tagged Image File Format (.tif).
TIFF files should be supplied at a minimum resolution of 300 dpi (dots per inch) at the final size at
which they are to appear in the journal. TIFF and EPS formats are the industry standard for archiving
and print and online publication.
Detailed information on digital illustration standards is available at this webpage.
Please note that file formats other than EPS and TIF will be automatically rejected by the online
submission website.
Colour files should be in CMYK format. Labelling should be in 10pt sans serif style font. Figure sections
should be designated with upper case letters. Magnification bars should be given on electron and light
micrographs.
Original artwork: If you are unable to submit electronic artwork, please provide two sets of all figures as
high-quality glossy prints at the size that they are to appear in print. One set should be unlabelled.
Legends: Table and figure legends should be included within the text file and contain sufficient
information to be understood without reference to the text. Each should begin with a short title for the
figure. All symbols and abbreviations should be explained within the legend.
Cover images: Electronic artwork of high quality suitable for the cover of JAnat are welcomed. They
should be sent to the Editorial Office and be accompanied by a relevant caption. It is preferred that
images should be related to submitted papers. Contributors are required to grant exclusive publishing
rights to the Society. It is the Publisher's policy not to publish items without signed exclusive licence
forms.
