If the manuscript is accepted, the authors may be asked to provide the source files for the figures. All figures should be cited in the manuscript in consecutive order. Only images in TIFF or JPEG formats will be accepted, with a minimum resolution according to the type of image, both for black and white images and for color images: 1200 dpi for simple black and white graphics, 300 dpi for black and white photographs, and 600 dpi for color photographs.
Supplementary Materials: Supplementary materials are additional parts of a manuscript, such as audio files, videos, or data sets that may be of interest to readers. Authors can submit the supplementary material file along with their manuscript in the submission process. A section titled Supplementary Material should be included before the reference list with a concise description for each supplementary material file.
