Check the names and formats of the files you are about to upload: spaces, special characters, length and accepted file types.

How it works
Do not put author names in the name of a file that is sent to reviewers: blinded review looks at file names too.
The checks are advice; the upload page applies the real rules.
These tools support writing; they do not replace the Instructions for Authors or the advice of your co-authors and institution.
Questions
Which formats are accepted?
They depend on the kind of file and are listed from the journal's current submission settings when you choose the kind.
Are my file names sent anywhere?
No. They are checked in your browser.
