Science (AAAS) figure preparation: resolution (150-300+ DPI), formats (PDF/EPS/TIFF), RGB color, Myriad/Helvetica fonts, strict image manipulation policies including gamma adjustment disclosure.
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
# Science (AAAS) Figure Preparation Guide
## Overview
This guide provides the complete specifications for preparing figures for submission to **Science** journal (published by AAAS). Science has different requirements for initial vs. revised manuscript submissions and requires explicit disclosure of nonlinear image adjustments.
**Official reference**: https://www.science.org/content/page/instructions-preparing-initial-manuscript
---
## Resolution Requirements
### Initial Submission
| Image Type | Resolution |
|---|---|
| All figures | **150-300 DPI** |
### Revised Manuscript (Higher Standards)
| Image Type | Minimum Resolution | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Line art | **300 DPI+** | At final print size |
| Grayscale and color artwork | **300 DPI+** | Higher resolution preferred |
**CRITICAL**: Upsampling (artificially increasing resolution) is **prohibited**. The resolution must be native to the image.
```python
from PIL import Image
def check_science_resolution(image_path, stage='initial'):
"""Check image resolution for Science submission.
Args:
image_path: Path to image file
stage: 'initial' (150-300 DPI) or 'revised' (300+ DPI)
"""

How to install
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/science-figure-guide@sha256:12142c75137a62b1The 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.
