Lessons learned
  • Storing data and presenting data in published tables have different requirements.
  • You should print figures using the approximate size they will appear in before submitting the manuscript for publication.
  • Printed figures often need larger axis annotation font size compared to presentations in full screen mode.
  • Consider using an explicit creative-commons license for your figures to simplify reuse for yourself and others.

Food for thought
If you publish an article where the journal or publisher ask you to transfer your copyright to them – how can you act to ensure that you are able to reuse figures and tables in the article in other documents you may produce?
