FSHS requires that author graphics NOT be embedded within the manuscript document. Graphics (figures, pictures, etc.) must be sent as separate files (TIF, EPS, JPG, or PDF) from the manuscript. Label the manuscript and graphics files with the corresponding author's last name, and include the figure number for graphics files. Unlike graphics, tables should be embedded within the manuscript file; submitted as text and not as graphic images. Include contact information for each author (incl. e-mail address and phone number), so that page proofs can be e-mailed for author corrections.
