How to Prepare Your Accepted Manuscript for Publication
[x] Upload the main manuscript file and tables in Word or LaTeX. If your manuscript was prepared in LaTeX, please upload a ZIP of the LaTeX source files and include a PDF version.
[x] Assemble the parts of the manuscript in the following order: Title page, Abstract, Key words, Text, Acknowledgments, Literature Citations, Data Availability Statement (if any), Tables (table legend, headings, data, footnotes), Figure Legends, Figures.
[x] Completely double space all text in the manuscript, including table legends and footnotes. All pages should have 1 inch margins on all sides.
[x] Prepare the manuscript using Times New Roman font in a 12-point size. Number the pages sequentially, beginning with the title page.
[x] Check that the hierarchy of text headings is discernible.
[x] Display equations should be formatted using MathType software (a trial version is available online).
[x] Confirm that tables, figures, and Supporting Information are mentioned in the body of the manuscript in numeric order.
[x] For Word submissions, tables must be provided in an editable format as true tables in the Word file, created using the "Insert Table" function, rather than using tabs, spaces, or embedded images. Tables cannot contain colors, shading or graphics. If such enhancements are needed, the information must be presented as a figure.
[x] Provide each figure a single time, as a high-resolution image suitable for publication. Preferred file formats include TIF, EPS, PDF, or AI created using at least 600 dpi, while JPEG, PPT/PPTX, or DOC/DOCX are also acceptable if the resolution is sufficient. See Author Guidelines for more details. Ultimately we are looking for files that not only create crisp, clean prints, but also remain crisp and clear when the on-screen view is significantly zoomed in.
[x] Prepare and submit any previously provided Supporting Information for online publication in Wiley Online Library. New material cannot be added at this stage. Supporting Information is not edited or typeset, and thus should be supplied in the format intended for posting online. For materials prepared in LaTeX, please supply a PDF only. Each appendix must be provided in a separate file. To avoid publication delays please review the naming conventions for this material and the file naming requirements prior to submission: https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/hub/journal/19395582/resources/author-guidelines-eap#Supporting_Information
[x] Ecological Applications is using Twitter (@ESAApplications) to publicize articles. In the Twitter section of ScholarOne's online submission form, please provide any individual, institution, or funder Twitter accounts you would like us to tag, along with any applicable Twitter hashtags. ESA staff will post a tweet shortly after your article appears online with a direct link to the article.
[x] If authors wish to promote their paper at the time it is released online, be advised that ESA does not embargo papers and the Accepted Article is expected to publish online within a week of files being transmitted to the publisher. General information on ESA’s publicity and embargo policies can be found online: https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/hub/journal/19395582/resources/publicity-esa
