7. Requirements for formatting figures

1) In order to make figures in good quality, you can use our video lessons at the link. 
(A strong request - do not use Microsoft Paint to create or edit your figures. This editor gives a maximum resolution of 120 dpi, which does not meet the requirements of our magazine).

2) Before a figure, there must be a reference to the it in the form of Fig. 1, Fig. 2–4, Fig. 5, a. The reference to the figure must be in the same section/subsection as the figure itself.

3) The caption under a figure should take the form: Fig. 1. The title of the figure.

If the figure consists of several subfigures, the caption should take the form: Fig. 1. The title of the figure: a ‒ the name of the first subfigure; b ‒ the name of the second subfigure...

4) If there are designations or abbreviations in the figure, the transcript of which were not given earlier in the text, then those should be explained in the text under the figure. For example, the figure shows three charts, which are marked, respectively, by numbers 1, 2, and 3. Then the text under the figure should take the form: Fig. 1. Title: 1 ‒ chart 1; 2 ‒ chart 2; 3 ‒ chart 3.

5) Caption under the figure must be part of the text.

6) Figures should be streamlined "In text."
