Cover suggestions

Cover suggestions are always welcome (the image should not otherwise have previously been published elsewhere) and should ideally be submitted as a supplementary data file(s) during manuscript submission. For manuscripts post-acceptance, cover suggestions can be emailed to the Editorial Office.

Please supply a high-resolution image that is 23 cm wide x 24 cm high [saved as high resolution 300 pixels/inch TIFF or JPG (maximum quality) in RGB mode]. If you wish to submit several images for use as a 'montage', please supply the individual images, together with a mock-up of how you envisage the individual images would be combined.

For previous examples of Journal of Experimental Biology covers, please refer to our issue archive.

Please supply a cover caption of less than 100 words; this should explain the image(s) and link it to your article and the field as a whole. It should also provide any picture credits, if necessary. Example cover captions.

The cover for each issue is chosen by the Editor-in-Chief and/or Managing Editor, whose decision is final.
