  4. Supplemental Digital Content

Authors may submit supplemental digital content (SDC) to enhance their article’s text and to be considered for online-only posting. SDC may include the following types of content: text documents, graphs, tables, figures, graphics, illustrations, audio and video. If an article with SDC is accepted, our production staff will create a URL with the SDC file. The URL will be placed in the call-out within the article. SDC files are not copy-edited by our staff; they will be presented digitally as submitted.

SDC Call-Outs

Supplemental digital content must be cited consecutively in the text of the submitted manuscript. Citations should include the type of material submitted (audio, figure, table and so on), be clearly labeled as supplemental digital content, and provide a description of the supplemental content. All descriptive text should be included in the call-out as it will not appear elsewhere in the article.

Electronic Figure Submission

  • Black and white graphic with no shading
  • 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. Microsoft Office files are also acceptable
  • Vector graphics containing fonts must have the fonts embedded in the files
  • Name your figure files with Fig and the figure number, for example e.g., Fig1.eps
  • Do not use faint lines and/or lettering, and check that all lines and lettering within the figures are legible at the final size
  • All lines should be at least 0.1 mm (0.3 pt) wide
  • Scanned line drawings and line drawings in bitmap format should have a minimum resolution of 1200 dpi
  • Vector graphics containing fonts must have the fonts embedded in the files

Halftone Art

  • Photographs, drawings, or paintings with fine shading and so on
  • If any magnification is used in the photographs, indicate this by using scale bars within the figures themselves
  • Halftones should have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi

Tables

Tables should be typed (double line-spaced) on separate sheets, and their position indicated by a marginal note in the text. All tables should have short descriptive captions with footnotes and their source(s) typed below the tables.

Illustrations

All line diagrams and photographs are termed figures and should be referred to as such in the manuscript. They should be:

  • Numbered consecutively
  • Presented in a form suitable for immediate reproduction (i.e.not, requiring redrawing), each on a separate A4 sheet
  • Reproducible to a final printed text area of 205 mm x 142 mm

Illustrations on disk should be supplied as TIF or EPS files at high resolution. Photographs should preferably be submitted as clear, glossy, unmounted black and white prints with a good range of contrast. Slides are also acceptable. All figures should have short descriptive captions typed on a separate sheet. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission from copyright holders to reproduce any illustrations, tables, figures or lengthy quotations previously published elsewhere. Permission letters must be supplied to URJe.
