To Reduce Published Errors
References: After revisions, authors should double-check that all in-text citations are in the reference list and that all references on the reference list have at least one corresponding in-text citation. Only published and "in press" references should appear in the reference list at the end of the paper. Unpublished references must be cited as such in text only. The latest information on "in press" references should be provided.
Figure legends: All labels used within a figure
should be explained in the legend. Double-check that all labels and symbols mentioned in the figure legend are on the final version of the figure. Rather than stating "See text," the legend should be more specific; for example, "See Results."
Numbering: If pre-acceptance revisions require adding, deleting, or reordering of figures, tables, or equations, be sure that all in-text references to such items are renumbered as well.
Sources of materials: All companies from which materials were obtained should be listed with their location: city and state or province (if not a well-known city) or country (if outside the United States or Canada). If materials were obtained from an individual, an affiliation for that individual should be listed. |
