How figures are handled
Science Advances prints figures to a fixed column grid. Size your figure to one of the widths below, then keep every panel sharp at 300 dpi.

- Resolution
- 300 dpi minimum
- Colour mode
- RGB
- Panel labels

Accepted export formats
✓PNG✓PDF✓TIFF✓JPEG
Watch: The 227.5 mm maximum depth includes the legend; keep two-column figures to about 199 mm so the legend fits.
Select Science Advances in FigureForge and the canvas, panel labels, and export match this spec automatically, with a per-panel warning if anything would fall below 300 dpi before you submit.
