↑Back to top.
If you wish to include any material in your manuscript in which you do not hold copyright, you must obtain written permission from the copyright owner, prior to submission. Such material may be in the form of text, data, table, illustration, photograph, line drawing, audio clip, video clip, film still, and screenshot, and any supplemental material you propose to include. This applies to direct (verbatim or facsimile) reproduction as well as “derivative reproduction” (where you have created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source).
You must ensure appropriate acknowledgement is given to the permission granted to you for reuse by the copyright holder in each figure or table caption. You are solely responsible for any fees which the copyright holder may charge for reuse.
The reproduction of short extracts of text, excluding poetry and song lyrics, for the purposes of criticis
m may be possible without formal permission on the basis that the quotation is reproduced accurately and full attribution is given.
For further information and FAQs on the reproduction of copyright material, please consult our Guide .
6. Supplemental online material
↑Back to top.
Authors are encouraged to submit supplementary material, in
particular tables and figures, which will not be typeset, and will not
appear in the main article, but will be hosted online alongside the article. Similarly, authors have the option of submitting the experimental details for their Research Articles or Short Communications as supplementary online material.
For articles, figures (HPLC, NMR, etc.) of the particulars of trivial experimental procedures (synthesis of known compounds, standard isolation and purification of known compounds, etc.) and of histological tissues (when biological data are reported) are encouraged to be provided as supplementary material, rather than part of the paper itself.
Supplementary material should be provided in a single supplementary file. The first page should clearly indicate the title of the paper, the authors, and the abstract; the rest of the file should provide all supplementary material. Please note that when directing the reader to supplementary material in the article itself, supplementary material should be indicated by an ‘S’ Table S1, Figure S1, and so on, in order to differentiate it from the figures and tables that will actually be appearing in the article.
Detailed guidelines on preparing supplementary material are available here . Please note that supplementary material not adhering to these guidelines may cause the manuscript to be rejected/require revision (at the Editor's/Publishers' discretion).
Authors are also encouraged to submit animations, movie files, sound files or any additional information for online publication.
