TABLES AND FIGURES. See current print issues or online pdf pages of The Journal for style. When submitting your manuscript online, tables must be included in the manuscript text file and each figure must be included in a separate file. Additional information on how to format electronic figure files is provided in the section on Manuscript Digital Files .
Tables or figures adapted or reproduced from another source must acknowledge that source in a footnote and be accompanied by written proof that the copyright bearer has granted permission to reproduce or adapt the table or figure. Authors may use The Journal of Nutrition Permission Form for this purpose.
Tables:Tables must be included in the text file. Each table (one per page) should have a title that clearly but concisely describes the subjects and treatments. Information concerning methods or explanatory material should be in a footnote to the table rather than in the title. Repetition of methodology should be minimized. Units of measure should be clearly indicated above the first value in each column or centered over all columns to which the unit applies. Statistics of variability (e.g., SD, pooled SEM) and the significance of differences among the data should be shown. Tables should be sequentially cited in the text, and the first reference to each table should be in bold face. References cited in tables should be included in the Literature Cited section.Figures: For revisions, each figure must be in a separate file. All figures will be reproduced at one-column width (9 cm) unless the complexity of the figure demands a two-column width (18.5 cm). Include figure titles in the legend and not on the figure itself. Figure titles and legends should be compiled on one or more pages in the manuscript text file. Each legend should contain enough detail, including statistics, to ensure that the figure is interpretable without reference to the text. Separate panels of a figure should be labeled A,B,C, etc. Make sure that any multipanel figures (i.e., figures with parts labeled a, b, c, d, etc.) are assembled into one file. Rather than sending four files (Fig1a, Fig1b, Fig1c, Fig1d) the four parts should be assembled into one piece and supplied as one file. Lettering on figures should be large enough to be legible after reduction to single-column width of 21 picas (about 3 1/2 inches or 9 cm). Letter type sizes after reduction should be 6-8 points.
Color reproduction costs will be charged to the author. During the online submission process, on the "Manuscript Metadata" screen, authors must indicate: (1) whether color figures are included in the manuscript, (2) which figure(s) should be printed in color, and (3) their agreement to pay color reproduction costs in the amount of $400 per figure.
