By following these guidelines, you will be able to create original graphics that will look great in your published book.</span><span id="more-4642"></span></p> <h3>Submission</h3><p>All graphics files should be submitted electronically.聽Each figure or component of a multi-part figure should be submitted as an individual file.聽Avoid embedding artwork in the main text. Artwork will be placed in the correct position during the production stage.</p><p>To submit your graphics files, do the following:</p><ul><li>Group the files into individual chapter folders as shown below.聽</li><li>You should include a list containing the number of figures per chapter.</li><li>In addition to聽high-resolution artwork files, please supply one PDF file of all of the artwork for each individual chapter. The PDF file should contain each figure identified with a visible figure number. This is required for viewing reference only.</li></ul><p>Examples of acceptable grouping of folders for art delivery:</p><ul><li>Title folder (author name/abbreviated title)</li><li>Chapter folder (e.g. Ch_01)</li><li>Figure folder (high-resolution files)<ul><li>01.eps</li><li>02.tif</li><li>03.cdx</li></ul></li></ul><p>Be sure to use the same naming convention for all figures.</p><h3>Figure Numbering and Captions</h3><p>Number the figures sequentially according to their appearance in the text and the chapter number. For example, Figure 3.4 would be the fourth figure in chapter 3.</p><ul><li>Check that each figure is cited in the text so that the book production team knows where to place the figure.</li><li>Supply a list of figure captions at the end of each chapter.聽</li><li>Captions should include appropriate credit lines if the figure has been published previously (see the Artwork Permissions section below).</li><li>Define any new abbreviations used within the figure in the figure caption.</li></ul> <h3>Technical Specifications</h3><p>There are two types of artwork: photographs (halftones) and line drawings.
