• If you are using software that includes some layout ability (such as MS Word or Google Docs), you should include a version of the image in your document, about where it should appear in relation to the text. Include a short, meaningful caption, and number the element (i.e., Figure 1, Table 2, …). Then when you transmit your high-resolution version for publication, use the element label and number (i.e., Figure 1) in the file name such that it is clear to someone with no background in computing or knowledge of your article which element from your document the high-resolution version is intended to replace.
  • If you are using flat text (i.e., a LaTeX file), include the element label and number along with a short, meaningful caption in the text near the content that supports it. Then, use the element label and number (i.e., Figure 1) in the file name such that it is clear to someone with no background in computing or knowledge of your article where the element goes in your article.
