To avoid reduction, photographs' width should generally not exceed 8.5 cm. When necessary, photographs can be arranged to form a plate of the maximum size of 17 cm (width) x 18 cm (height). Legends to figures should be typed on a parate sheet.
一般图片的大小会8.5厘米，所以当中的数字，字母和标记要稍微大点。图片宽度不会超过8.5厘米。如果一定需要，图片可以增至最大17 cm (width) x 18 cm (height)。图片的解释说明文要另起一页。

21．The legends of the figures should be typed on a parate sheet headed "Figure legends".）（figure legend？）
大部分杂志都是要求将Legends和图分开的。对于Legends，你理解错误，应该是图片说明的意思，
比如说Fig1下面会要有些解释，说明图中的一些包含意思。所以说，图片的说明（legends）要放在稿子正文的最后，也就是引文的最后。这是常识。也有部分杂志不是这样的。
22．Submit the text (including any Tables) as a single file, in a standard disk (3.5 inch, not high density; 100 and 250 MB Zip disk and CD are also accepted), together with two hard copies of the manuscript and two ts of figures (not photocopies). Not photocopies
最好是将文字，图片，表格都放在软盘里.另外再打印两份，包括图片，这两份就是送审到专家那里去的，因此建议用好的打印机打印.not photocopies指的是不要原始照片.图片是指打印机上打印的.
23．The manuscript must be accompanied by copies of all relevant papers published elwhere by the authors and by copies of relevant manuscripts that are in press or under editorial consideration.

a lf-contained synopsis of the paper (100-200 words in length)一般指摘要，有些杂志可能不叫abstract，写法也有所不同。tables 表格，每个表格也是单独放一页，表格的说明在表的上方，一起的。an abbreviated title for u as a running headline也就是running title了，有些杂志需要这个，滚动标题（不知道是不是这样翻译，写在文章最上部的标题）captions to figures (on a parate page)也就是legend of figures，图例，每个图的说明文字。
25．Figure captions should be submitted on a parate sheet of manuscript paper, clearly labeled.
图单独一页，4个图4页。图例放1页，4个也是1页，与图分开，放在图之前。

我的理解是带有你们单位实验室或者公司抬头的公函纸张写的介绍信。并附带你们作者的个人签名。
28．Submit original figures with the final manuscript. Figures are normally glossy prints of photographs or crisp black and white reproductions (photostats) of line drawings. To submit figures as computer files follow the instructions below. Image resolution must be 300 ppi at final printed image size. If the final printed image size is unknown, size the image at a larger than final print size, maintaining at least 300 ppi resolution, and we will downsample the image to fit the final print dimensions (we cannot enlarge a digitized image). Image sizes as follows: 2175 pixels wide for a 2-column image; 975 pixels wide for a 1-column image.
如果是将原始图片寄过去，请保证照片（比如拍的荧光照片等）或者线图（比如一些用绘图仪绘制的黑白统计图）要平滑（glossy），不要起皱。如果是通过计算机处理获得的数字图象（比如扫描，计算机谱获来的图片）递交的图片要符合下列要求：杂志印刷出版的时候图的最低分辨率300像素。杂志要求请尽量给我们一个分辨率更高的图，如果必要，我们会通过手段将照片的分辨率降到出版印刷的最低的300像素的要求。如果你给了我们一个低于300像素的图，我们没有办法增加图片的像素。图片大小要求为如果是占两栏的图，图片的宽度大小为2175像素。如果占单栏（见我的贴图），图片的宽度大小为975像素。29．line artwork, halftone artwork, combination artwork(line/tone)
line artwork：指的是线图，纯的黑白图没有中间颜色。halftone artwork：半色调图，也就是灰度图，是有颜色深浅差别的灰度图。combination artwork(line/tone)：这个就是两者的混合，有时也指彩色图与line artwork的组合。

Most file formats are accepted, but TIFF and EPS files, with fonts embedded, are preferred. If scanned, line art should be at a resolution of 800 dpi, and halftones and colour at 300 dpi. All colour values should be CMYK.
Captions是指图片的说明，而不是图片本身；没有仔细看这个杂志的全部稿约内容，但是，一般大部
分杂志都是要求图片独立上传的，而不是放在word文档里的。有部分杂志是要求开始的时候可以把表格，图片全部嵌入到word文档，在网上投稿系统中自己转变为PDF 格式，给审稿人审稿。但是最后如果稿子被接受了，还是要重新独立上传图片，图片表格的解释文是放在word里面的。
31．Tables should be typed on parate pages and be numbered concutively using Arabic
numerals.
表格一定要单独列一页。
32．Manuscripts (including table legends, figure legends and references) should be typed double-spaced with font size 12 letters.

使用word的自动换行，在段落的结尾进行回车。
