The Figure Formatting service uses your files to generate high-quality figures that conform to your chosen journal’s specifications. This includes changes to file type, resolution, color space, font, scale, line weights, and layout (to improve readability and professional appearance).

In addition to Figure Formatting for your existing figures, Custom Illustration can assist you by generating original illustrations based on sketches, re-drawing low-resolution diagrams and flowcharts to generate high-quality figures, or creating graphs from data tables. The illustrators work directly with you to help you turn your ideas and data into figures that will help you communicate your research, whether in print, on posters, or in slide presentations.
AJE guarantees that the formatted figures and tables that you receive will meet the stated specifications of the journal that you selected. If the journal has any issues with the preparation of your figures or tables, those issues will be resolved for free. In addition, if you are dissatisfied with any aspect of the appearance of your formatted figures, the formatting team will work with you until you are happy with the presentation of your data.
Our Custom Illustration Service provides you with original illustrations, graphs, and diagrams based on your ideas. This process is inherently iterative, and AJE guarantees to continue to adjust the illustration, graph, or diagram until you are happy with the presentation of your data or ideas.
What file types do you accept for figure formatting?
We are currently able to process the following file types:
File types that are not on this list should be exported as .eps or .pdf files. If you use alternative software, we can also advise you on the best procedure to export figures in one of our recommended file types.
Can you format my tables?
Yes. Tables can be formatted through our Figure Formatting service.
How will you format images, such as photographs and micrographs?
In order to generate top-quality figures, images that are included within a figure should also be sent independently in the highest available resolution file. For ethical reasons, we are unable to make changes to brightness, contrast, or color balance, and we will not crop the image.
