3.1.11 Tables, figures and gráphics
The number of tables and figures should be limited by sending only those that are really useful, clear and representative. They will be numbered correlatively according to the quotation in the text and each one will have its caption. They will be placed in the right place of the text. Tables and figures should be designed in Word or Excel, so that they are visible when conforming to the format of 8.8 cm (width of 2 columns) presenting a good contrast so that they do not lose quality with the reduction. If necessary, once the article has been accepted, the journal may ask the corresponding author separately for tables and figures with better resolution. Sources must be included, when necessary, for tables, figures.
The resolution of pictures should not be less than 300 dpi (dots per inch). If the size of the final file is too large (more than 10 MB), then the manuscript should contain the figures with minimized resolution, and the original figures must be provided in separate files, if the article is accepted.
3.1.12 Formulas and equations
Images should be inserted and not embedded in the document. They will be numbered in parentheses in correlative order. If they are cited in the text, it will be done in the same way and by the same order.
3.1.13 Layout
The authors will receive a layout PDF proof that should be reviewed within a maximum period of three days. Modifications of the original text will not be accepted during the proofreading.
