 Submission-Ready Figures and Tables: What Every Researcher Should Check

When you’ve spent months preparing your manuscript for publication, the last thing you want is for your manuscript to hit a wall because of something as seemingly “simple” issue with a figure or table formatting. But it happens all the time. Why? Because formatting isn’t just a technicality; it’s part of how your work is read, interpreted, and judged from the first glance.

Formatting figures and tables correctly is essential. This may seem simple enough but journal requirements can vary widely. One journal may want figures embedded in the manuscript; another might ask for them as separate high-resolution files. Font sizes, resolution, file types—these are important details that can make a big difference in both readability and compliance. And when done well, figures and tables can amplify your findings and communicate confidence. On the other hand, oversights can delay publication. Below are key considerations every researcher should keep in mind while preparing their figures and tables for submission.
