Journal presets

Each preset is read from the publisher's author guidelines (link and date below). Values marked with an asterisk are not stated by the publisher and use eofigs defaults; always confirm against the journal's own guide, which can be stricter.

Notes:

  • Springer: 84 mm is one column of a two-column page and 174 mm the full text width; small-format journals use 119 mm and at most 195 mm height.
  • Wiley: figures between 80 and 180 mm wide; individual Wiley journals set their own column widths.
  • MDPI and Taylor & Francis state no figure widths; Taylor & Francis refers to each journal's page.
  • eofigs exports raster files at 600 dpi for every preset, which meets or exceeds each publisher's requirement for figures that combine text and images. For line art (art="line") it uses the publisher's line-art resolution when that is higher (1000 dpi for Elsevier, 1200 dpi for Springer and Taylor & Francis).
  • taylor_francis also accepts "tandf" and "t&f"; springer accepts "springer_nature".

The presets live in eofigs/data/journals.json, which the R version of eofigs will share.
