- Figure files
- Table files

Figure or table files
You can enter captions and link text before or after uploading figures, images, and tables. Organize files using thumbnails. To remove or edit a file, use the Actions drop-down menu.
If the journal uses double-blind peer review, anonymize your figures and tables before submission.
