NEJM Figure Preparation Guide
Overview
This guide provides the complete specifications for preparing figures for submission to the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). A unique feature of NEJM is that medical illustrations are created by NEJM's in-house illustrators working directly with authors — authors should NOT submit finished medical illustrations due to copyright considerations.
