The file must be sent in either .rar or .zip formats.
Q: How are images, diagrams and screenshots handled?
Images, diagrams and screenshots must be numbered in sequence, eg. pic01, pic02, diagram01, diagram02, screenshot01, screenshot02 and if you wish for them to be embedded into the article you must specify in the article where they are to be inserted by using the same naming convention.
It is preferable that images, diagrams and screenshots are provided as attachments to the email, rather than embedded into the article document.
