Use when building figures and tables for an Earth and Planetary Science Letters (EPSL) manuscript. A Letter lives or dies by a few exhibits that a geochemist, seismologist, and geodynamicist can all read — maps with tectonic context, concordia/isochron plots with full error ellipses, model sections with resolution shown. It designs exhibits; it does not run the analysis.

# Figures & Tables (epsl-figures-and-tables)

In a letters-format paper the figures *are* the argument: with a main text near 6,500 words (re-check
the cap on the official site), EPSL papers typically carry a small number of dense, layered exhibits
plus a supplement. The venue-specific pressures are cross-disciplinary legibility — your map will be
read by someone who has never worked in that orogen — and uncertainty made visible, because the
sub-fields EPSL serves treat an error-free plot as a red flag.

## When to trigger

- Deciding which few exhibits carry the Letter and what moves to the supplement
- Drafting location maps, cross-sections, isotope plots, tomography slices, or phase diagrams
- A reviewer called an exhibit unreadable, missing context, or missing uncertainties
- Preparing figure files for Editorial Manager upload
