A compilation of frequently asked questions (FAQ) about the s-Ink graphics collection. If your question is not answered here, feel free to contact one of our team members directly.
s-ink.org is a free online collection for science-proof, community-reviewed, and fully visually accessible science-related graphics.
We only add widely-useful, scientifically sound and eye-catching content to the online collection.
See what makes a good science figure here: s-ink.org/about/good-science-figures.
Vector formats (.svg, .eps, .pdf) are preferred, but not always possible/sensible, in which case high-resolution raster formats (.png, .tiff, .gif) are welcome too. If it is possible, please provide editable formats (.psd, .ai).
Use a personal (long-term) storage solution (and keep us posted when the storage directory changes).
Use external, permanent storage solutions like Zenodo (zenodo.org) that offer a DOI number, and then send us that link..
