Springer Book Guidelines
Submitted manuscript files to Springer will be converted to XML and re-formatted according to the Springer branded style. Accordingly, it is no longer necessary for you to spend valuable time putting the final touches to the manuscript. Final manuscript files should be entitled “LASTNAME_Chapter”.
However, Springer have compiled a list of key style points on manuscript structure, figure resolution, reference style etc., which – if considered during manuscript preparation – will help facilitate and speed up the publication process for the book. For easy reference please follow the Key Style Points.
Further, please note that all illustrations will be available in full color in the eBook but in black and white in the printed book. If color is essential for individual figures in the printed version, please list the corresponding figures in a separate spreadsheet entitled “LASTNAME_Color_Figures#XX”.
