NEJM figure preparation: resolution (300-1200 DPI), editable vector formats (AI/EPS/SVG), in-house medical illustration policy, and strict image integrity requirements.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# NEJM Figure Preparation Guide

## Overview

This guide provides the complete specifications for preparing figures for submission to the **New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM)**. A unique feature of NEJM is that **medical illustrations are created by NEJM's in-house illustrators** working directly with authors — authors should NOT submit finished medical illustrations due to copyright considerations.

**Official reference**: https://www.nejm.org/author-center/new-manuscripts

## Resolution Requirements

| Image Type | Minimum Resolution | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Black-and-white line art | **1,200 DPI** | Highest requirement |
| Photographic / halftone images | **300 DPI** | Standard for photographs |
| Peer review stage | Lower resolution acceptable | High-res required for final publication |

```python
from PIL import Image

def check_nejm_resolution(image_path, image_type='photo', stage='final'):
    """Check if image meets NEJM resolution requirements.

    Args:
        image_type: 'lineart' (1200 DPI) or 'photo' (300 DPI)
        stage: 'review' (lower OK) or 'final' (strict requirements)
    """
    min_dpi = {'lineart': 1200, 'photo': 300}

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/nejm-figure-guide@sha256:c8317342baa662bb

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
