Cover Figures

Authors are encouraged to submit colour figures to be considered for use on the cover of NAR . This includes authors of Online Methods papers. Such figures must be related to the manuscript they accompany, but must not be the same as a figure or part of a figure within the manuscript itself. Potential cover figures and accompanying captions should be uploaded as separate files during the online submission of a manuscript.

The figure should be supplied as a .tif file at a minimum resolution of 300 d.p.i. It should be saved with the CMYK colour option, and be of a size that requires no reduction or enlargement before reproduction (width 220 mm; depth 165 mm; inclusive of background). Colours should be bright and clearly distinct from one another. Authors should contact the Editorial Office ([email protected]) for advice on the suitability of a prospective cover figure and for information on selection procedures. Please note cover figures selected for the online-only Database and WebServer issues will not be printed.
