Instructions for authors cheat-sheet
To read the full Instructions for authors document, visit www.ejlst.com >> For Authors
Please keep in mind that if your paper is accepted, it might appear in the form you have supplied as an “accepted preprint” as early as 5 days
after acceptance.
Figures
-
Will be printed either fitting to a single column width
(85mm wide) or at full page width (175mm)
Do not present every measurement you have ever made
as a figure. If you wish to present some non-essential
figures, please submit them as a separate file as
supplementary material for online publication only
TIFF, EPS, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WMF/EMF, PPT/PPTX are all acceptable as
long as the quality is adequate
Use common sense to judge the quality. Print the figures 1/ large
(400%) - must not be pixelized, and 2/ small (about 80mm wide).
Text in the figure must be clearly
legible when printed 80mm wide.
Adjust font size if necessary !
Charts and graphs
To produce good looking figures directly from an Office
suite: from spreadsheets, either supply the vector versions
1
or raster image files that had been scaled first
Make sure your charts have error bars (where applicable)!
References – use the correct format and cite all relevant resources
(note - all journal names abbreviated with periods)
Follow ethical guidelines
Please be aware that might authenticate the submitted
contributions using the iThenticate tool
Make sure your datasets (lines, bars, points) are distinguishable in
black and white - use various types of dotted lines, hatching for bar
charts, and different shapes of data points
Conflict of interest statement
IF you have a conflict of interest, this will NOT influence the decision
on your manuscript acceptance
Do not forget to acknowledge your funding sources
Please DO have your manuscript checked by a native English
language speaker (or a person with good English language skills)
Short interesting titles are preferable
Meaningful keywords – this will influence the discoverability of your
paper when users perform a search
Write in simple, clear, short sentences
Please note that upon acceptance, your manuscript may appear
online within a few days after acceptance in an unedited form.

Pasting a chart from excel using ctrl-v will, by default, paste it as a chart object, not an image. This may not always be the best choice
because this object is not completely independent – the resulting figure included in the typeset version may look different; pasting the chart
using the Edit – Paste special (or Home – Paste special in Office 2007) will give you the opportunity to select the format of the chart (vector,
bitmap). The vector versions (WMF, EMF) can be scaled easily, but some features, for example hatching, may not be reproduced correctly. A
simple and universally applicable procedure: first scale the chart in excel to fill the whole screen, then copy it, and then paste as PNG file to
powerpoint or word (manuscript). The importance of SCALING BEFORE COPYING is illustrated below (left, scaled after copying, right scaled
before copying). The resulting image should have sufficient resolution. Alternatively, paste the chart in a graphical editor and save as TIFF.
