Submission Readiness

Use this section when you need to decide whether figures and reporting materials are ready for journal-oriented formatting, cross-figure consistency review, or accessibility and readability checks.

Use this section when your question is "Are these reporting materials ready for submission-facing review?" It helps you choose the right page for journal-specific figure formatting, cross-figure consistency review, or accessibility and readability checks before submission.

This section is about preparing and reviewing submission-facing outputs, not about deciding whether the analysis is valid, choosing a statistical method, or verifying that every journal requirement has been fully satisfied automatically.

If you need structured reporting forms or checklist-style submission requirements, go to Reporting Checklists. If you need to decide whether the analysis itself is valid, go to Quality Checks.

"How do I apply a Nature, NEJM, or Science-style preset before export?"Journal-specific Format AdaptationIt explains which journal presets exist, what they change, and what they do not validate.
"How do I review whether multiple figures use consistent labels, palettes, scales, and error-bar conventions?"Figure Consistency VerificationIt covers per-figure settings, current limits of cross-figure checking, and how to keep a figure set visually consistent.
"How do I check whether figures are readable and accessible, including colorblind-safe choices and readable labels?"Accessibility and Readability CheckIt explains palette defaults, readability safeguards, and accessibility-oriented display choices such as Viridis.

Child pages

What this section covers

These pages cover submission-facing preparation tasks tied to the output itself: journal preset styling, consistency across figures, and accessibility or readability review. The section includes concrete topics such as Nature, NEJM, Science, error-bar conventions, color palettes, axis labels, font sizes, and the Viridis color scale.

Start here

  1. Start with Journal-specific Format Adaptation if your first task is export styling for a target journal family.
  2. Go to Figure Consistency Verification if you are reviewing a set of figures for consistent styling before submission.
  3. Go to Accessibility and Readability Check if you need to confirm readable labels, accessible palettes, or colorblind-safe defaults.
