Tables
Tables should be self-contained and complement, not duplicate, information contained in the text. They should be supplied as editable files, not pasted as images. Legends should be concise but comprehensive – the table, legend, and footnotes must be understandable without reference to the text. All abbreviations must be defined in footnotes. Footnote symbols: †, ‡, §, ¶, should be used (in that order) and *, **, *** should be reserved for P-values. Statistical measures such as SD or SEM should be identified in the headings.
Figure Legends
Legends should be concise but comprehensive – the figure and its legend must be understandable without reference to the text. Include definitions of any symbols used and define/explain all abbreviations and units of measurement.
Figures
Although authors are encouraged to send the highest-quality figures possible, for peer-review purposes, a wide variety of formats, sizes, and resolutions are accepted. Click here for the basic figure requirements for figures submitted with manuscripts for initial peer review, as well as the more detailed post-acceptance figure requirements.
Figures submitted in color may be reproduced in color online free of charge. Please note, however, that it is preferable that line figures (e.g. graphs and charts) are supplied in black and white so that they are legible if printed by a reader in black and white. If an author would prefer to have figures printed in color in hard copies of the journal, a fee will be charged by the Publisher.
Additional Files
Appendices
Appendices will be published after the references. For submission they should be supplied as separate files but referred to in the text.
Supporting Information
Supporting information is information that is not essential to the article, but provides greater depth and background. It is hosted online and appears without editing or typesetting. It may include tables, figures, videos, datasets, etc.
Click here for Wiley’s FAQs on supporting information.
Note: if data, scripts, or other artefacts used to generate the analyses presented in the paper are available via a publicly available data repository, authors should include a reference to the location of the material within their paper.
General Style Points
The following points provide general advice on formatting and style.
• The cover page should include the full title, short title of up to 40 characters and names and affiliations of all authors. Give the full address, including email, telephone and fax, of the author who is to check the proofs.
• Include the name(s) of any sponsor(s) of the research contained in the paper, along with grant number(s).
• Authors may suggest appropriate reviewers, for consideration by the Editors.
• Please bear in mind the importance of the title and abstract; these will be read many more times than the full paper, and are used by readers to decide if they will read the full paper or not. It is worth taking time to make the title and abstract as informative and accurate as possible. For advice on writing titles and abstracts please visit our Author Services site.
• Abbreviations are not encouraged except for units of measurement and universally recognized abbreviations (e.g. DNA). When an abbreviation appears in the text for the first time, it should be placed in parentheses after the words for which it stands. We strongly discourage the use of non-standard abbreviations, as they are not helpful to readers.
• Compound and drug names. Generic names should be used for all compounds. Trade names may be used in parentheses after the generic name. Sources of unusual materials and chemicals, and the manufacturer and model of equipment used should be indicated.
The Editor reserves the right to alter manuscripts whenever necessary to make them conform to the stylistic and bibliographical conventions of the Journal.
