Supplementary image files should be provided in one of the formats listed in the table below. Elsevier recommends the submission of material in the specified 'preferred' formats.
Supplying material in one of the formats outlined below will ensure that the majority of potential users have the best chance of being able to access, view or play the data, both now and in the future.
If the software used for creation of your image(s) does not support this, please save in one of the 'accepted' formats outlined.
Any alternative format supplied may be subject to conversion (if technically possible) prior to online publication.
Recommended upper limit
For ease of download, the recommended upper limit for the size of a single MMC file is 10 Mb. When the size of a single file is bigger than this, some users may experience problems when downloading. Whenever possible, therefore, this limit should be adhered to.
