Necessary files for submission. (click with the right mouse button on the link to save the files) 

  1. Title page: Download
  2. Manuscript: Download
  3. Submission Checklist: Download

EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is the preferred format for vector graphics (charts, graphs, technical drawings, annotated images).

Adobe Acrobat PDF format (PDF) is an increasingly common file format used for distribution of files intended primarily for printing, this format can also be used for the submission of any artwork type to Elsevier.

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is the recommended file format for bitmap (line art), grayscale and color halftone images that are solely using pixels.

JPEG files are accepted for grayscale and color halftone images (photographs, micrographs, etc.).

MS Office files (Word, Excel and PowerPoint): Microsoft Office® is essentially a family of applications that can be used to produce a variety of document types, including written documents, spreadsheets, presentations and databases. Although we prefer artwork files in EPS, PDF, TIFF or JPEG format, we are also aware that a number of authors already (for convenience) submit their artwork in MS Office formats. Therefore, we will continue to support these submission types, now and in the future.

- Authors can also upload any supplementary data (if applicable) within the file "Supplementary data".
