A template of guidelines for creating accurate, accessible, and inclusive science figures to be directed at authors of scientific journals and conference organisers. The guideline aims to reduce the widespread use and reuse of unscientific colour maps, such as rainbow-types like ‘jet‘ and instead promote science-proof alternative colour maps, such as ‘batlow‘. The template was first developed for the diamond open-access journal Tektonika and refined by its community.
