Caveats

  • Individual ACS journals and article types may override this generic artwork guidance.
  • The profile can validate a supplied TOC graphic but cannot establish that the manuscript contains one.
  • Black-and-white TIFF TOC graphics require 1200 DPI; that color-mode-specific rule remains manual.

ResearchPlot exposes source-backed evidence and unresolved checks; it does not guarantee editorial acceptance. Journal-specific instructions override generic publisher guidance.
