Supplementary material

Introduction #

In addition to the main manuscript, Vensel Publications allows authors to submit supplementary materials to enhance the understanding and presentation of their research. Supplementary materials include tables, figures, and additional text that provide additional data, analyses, or details that support the findings of the main manuscript. This document provides detailed instructions on preparing supplementary tables, figures, and text to accompany your manuscript.

Supplementary Tables #

Supplementary tables offer an opportunity to present additional data or detailed information that may be too extensive or tangential for inclusion in the main manuscript. When preparing supplementary tables, please adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Clearly label each table with a concise and informative title that describes its content.
2. Number the tables consecutively, using Arabic numerals (Table S1, Table S2, etc.), to differentiate them from tables in the main manuscript.
3. Ensure that each table is comprehensible and stands alone without the need for extensive reference to the main manuscript.
4. Include a brief caption below each table that provides a succinct explanation of its contents.
5. If applicable, provide footnotes or additional explanations within the table to clarify abbreviations, units of measurement, or statistical significance.
6. Format the tables using a clear and consistent structure, with appropriate column headings and row labels.

Supplementary Figures #

Supplementary figures allow you to present additional graphical or visual representations of data that support the findings of your research. To prepare supplementary figures, consider the following instructions:

1. Clearly label each figure with a concise and informative title that reflects its content.
2. Number the figures consecutively, using Arabic numerals (Figure S1, Figure S2, etc.), to distinguish them from figures in the main manuscript.
3. Ensure that each figure is self-explanatory and can be understood independently from the main manuscript.
4. Include a brief caption below each figure that describes the key findings or provides relevant details.
5. Format the figures appropriately, ensuring clear and legible fonts, appropriate scaling, and accurate representation of data.
6. Save the figures in a high-resolution format (e.g., JPEG, TIFF, or EPS) to ensure clarity and readability.

Supplementary Text #

Supplementary text allows you to include additional explanations, methods, or details that support the main manuscript but may be too extensive for inclusion in the main body of the paper. When preparing supplementary text, please follow these guidelines:

1. Clearly label each section of supplementary text with a concise and descriptive heading that accurately reflects its content.
2. Number the sections consecutively, using Arabic numerals (Text S1, Text S2, etc.), to distinguish them from sections in the main manuscript.
3. Ensure that each section of supplementary text provides sufficient context and explanations to support the findings of the main manuscript.
4. Avoid duplicating information already presented in the main manuscript. Instead, focus on providing additional details or extended discussions.
5. Cross-reference any relevant supplementary tables or figures within the text to facilitate comprehension and avoid ambiguity.
6. Format the supplementary text using the same style guidelines as the main manuscript, including appropriate headings, subheadings, and references.
