Tables and Figures

• We would recommend very liberal use of Tables and Figures since these can provide quick and effective information for practicing physicians who may not have time to read a large text.
• Please insert tables and figures directly in the text where you want them to appear. We recommend having an average of one table or figure for each 2-3,000 words.
• Create Tables using the MS Word table function.  Please list the Table title in the Table in bold type. (see example below)
• Use of colored figures is strongly encouraged! Please insert figures directly in the text, and use “JPEG”, GIF, or PNG format. Please do not include the figure title, number, or legend within the figure. Figure legends should be below the figure and in bold
• As usual, we will need written permission to re-use any figure published elsewhere. Since many journals charge for permission to re-use a figure, and we are unable to provide support for this expense, it is often preferable to modify an illustration so that it is not the same as the original, or to produce a new figure.
