   In preparing the electronic manuscripts, there are many methods in saving figures to insert them to the fixed places of the papers prepared in TeX, some require simple steps for us to process and others do not. The JAMS recoomends that authors of the papers both for SCM and M.J. (we will publish an electronic versions in the near future) save the figures in the following manners. No matter what method was used to produce the graphics, it is necessary to provide a paper copy to the JAMS.

1. Graphics are saved at the fixed places in the souce file prepared in AMS-LaTeX, LaTeX and etc.
2. Graphics are saved in Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format.
3. Graphics are saved in one of the standard graphics formats - such as TIFF, PICT, GIF.
