    The preferred file formats for figures are jpg, jpeg, png. It can be submitted with in the article or in separate word along with figure caption.Figure legends should be typed in numerical order in the whole article.

    Tables and Equations as Graphics:

    If equations cannot be encoded in MathML, submit them in TIFF or EPS format as discrete files (i.e., a file containing only the data for one equation). Only when tables cannot be encoded as XML/SGML they can be submitted as graphics. If this method is used, it is critical that the font size in all equations and tables is consistent and legible throughout all submissions.
