Tables
All tables are to be numbered using Arabic numerals.Tables should always be cited in the text in consecutive numerical order.For each table, please supply a table title. The table title should explain clearly and concisely the components of the table.Use the table functions of your word-processing program, not spreadsheets, to create tables.Identify any previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference at the end of the table title.Footnotes to tables should be indicated by superscript lowercase letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data) and included beneath the table body.
Figures
All figures are to be numbered using Arabic numerals.Figure parts should be denoted by lowercase letters. If illustrations are supplied with uppercase labeling, lowercase letters will still be used in the figure legends and citations. Figures should always be cited in the text in consecutive numerical order. For each figure, please supply a figure legend. Legends should be appended to the text on a separate page. Make sure to identify all elements found in the figure in the legend. Identify any previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference at the end of the legend.For more information about preparing illustrations, please refer to the artwork guidelines available at the end of these instructions. The publisher reserves the right to reduce or enlarge figures.
Electronic Supplementary Material
If electronic supplementary material (ESM) is submitted, it will be published, as received from the author, in the online version only. ESM may consist of- information that cannot be printed: animations, video clips, sound recordings, etc. - information that is more convenient in electronic form: sequences, spectral data, etc. - large amounts of original data, additional tables, illustrations, etc. The text must make specific mention of any ESM in a citation, similar to that for figures and tables (e.g., . . as shown in Animation 3.For details on formats and other information, please follow the link (http://www.springer.com/11282) to the specific instructions for electronic supplementary material.
After Acceptance
During the production phase the following issues must be clarified:
|
Open Choice | In addition to the normal publication process (whereby an article is submitted to the journal and access to that article is granted to customers who have purchased a subscription), Springer now provides an alternative publishing option: Springer Open Choice. A Springer Open Choice article receives all the benefits of a regular subscription-based article, but in addition is made available publicly through Springer's online platform SpringerLink. We regret that Springer Open Choice cannot be ordered for already published articles. For further information, see Springer Open Choice at http://springer.com/openchoice.
|
Copyright transfer | Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of their articles to JSOMR and Springer. This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws. Open Choice articles do not require transfer of copyright as the copyright remains with the author. In opting for open access, authors agree to the Springer Open Choice License.
|
Offprints/Reprints | Offprints can be ordered by the corresponding author.
|
Color in print | Online publication of color illustrations is free of charge. For color in the print version, authors will be expected to make a contribution (152,000 for any number of pages with color) to printing costs. Otherwise the figures will be printed in black and white. Please note that in such cases, it is the authors?responsibility to prepare figures to be illustrative enough to convey the necessary information even after they are converted into black and white.
|
Proofreading | Authors are informed by e-mail that a temporary URL has been created from which they can obtain their proofs. The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables, and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title, and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor.
|
Online First | Papers will be published online after receipt of the corrected proofs. This is the official first publication citable with the DOI. After release of the printed version, the article can also be cited by issue and page numbers. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
|
Other | Manuscripts are published free of charge with the exception of color printing charges noted above.
Artwork Guidelines
|
Electronic figure submission | - Supply all figures electronically. - Indicate what graphics program was used to create the artwork. - For vector graphics, the preferred format is EPS; for halftones, please use TIFF format. - MS Office files are also acceptable. Do not supply PowerPoint files as these may be problematic with respect to quality rendering.- Use of double-byte characters should be avoided. - Vector graphics containing fonts must have the fonts outlined or embedded in the files. - Name your figure files with and the figure number, e.g., Fig1.eps.
|
Line art | Definition: Black and white graphic with no shading. - Do not use faint lines and/or lettering, and check that all lines and lettering within the figures are legible at final size. - All lines should be at least 0.1 mm (0.3 pt) wide. - If provided as scanned images or bitmap images, line drawings should have a minimum resolution of 1200 dpi. - Vector graphics containing fonts must have the fonts outlined or embedded in the files.
|
Halftone art | Definition: Photographs, drawings, or paintings with fine shading, etc. - If any magnification is used in the photographs, indicate the magnification by using scale bars within the figures themselves. - Halftones should have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.
|
Combination art | Definition: A combination of halftone and line art, e.g., halftones containing line drawing, extensive lettering, color diagrams, etc. - Combination artwork should have a minimum resolution of 600 dpi.
|
Color art | - Color art is free of charge for online publication. - If black and white is to be shown in the print version, make sure that the important information will remain visible. Many colors are not distinguishable from one another when converted to black and white. A simple way to check this is to make a photocopy to see if the necessary distinctions between the different colors are still apparent. - If the figures are to be printed in black and white, do not refer to color in the legends. - Color illustrations should be submitted as RGB (8 bits per channel).
|
Figure lettering | - To add lettering, it is best to use Helvetica or Arial (sans-serif fonts). Use lowercase letters to denote figure parts. - Keep lettering consistently sized throughout your final artwork, usually about 2mm (2 pt). - Variation in type size within an illustration should be minimal, e.g., do not use 8-pt type on an axis and 20-pt type for the axis label. - Avoid effects such as shading, outline letters, etc. - Do not include titles or captions in illustrations.
|
Figure placement and size | - When preparing figures, size figures to fit within the column width. - Figures should be 39 mm, 84 mm, 129 mm, or 174 mm wide and not higher than 234 mm.
