The Lancet figure preparation: resolution (300+ DPI at 120%), preferred editable formats (PowerPoint/Word/SVG), column widths (75/154 mm), Times New Roman, in-house redraw policy.
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
# The Lancet Figure Preparation Guide
## Overview
This guide provides the complete specifications for preparing figures for submission to **The Lancet** and Lancet family journals. A key distinguishing feature of The Lancet is that **most figures are redrawn by in-house illustrators** into Lancet house style. Therefore, editable source formats (PowerPoint, Word, SVG) are strongly preferred over rasterized images.

## Resolution Requirements
| Requirement | Specification |
|---|---|
| All photographic images | **300 DPI minimum** |
| Submission size | **120%** of intended publication size |
**TIP**: Supply images 20% larger than publication size to ensure quality is maintained after any resizing by the production team.
```python
from PIL import Image
def check_lancet_resolution(image_path):
"""Check if image meets Lancet resolution requirements."""
img = Image.open(image_path)
dpi = img.info.get('dpi', (72, 72))
print(f"DPI: {dpi[0]} x {dpi[1]}")
print(f"Minimum required: 300 DPI")
print(f"TIP: Submit at 120% of publication size")
if dpi[0] >= 300:

How to install
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/lancet-figure-guide@sha256:2787720680f0195fThe 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.
