I'm currently working on my first publication and heard from a colleague that the images must have precisely the same font size as the article's font. She told me that Origin could adjust this. Unfortunately, she works with Origin and I with Matlab, so that she cannot tell me how I can set this up with Matlab. Can someone give me a tip or an excellent workflow to create pictures that can be published with Matlab?

3I would be rather surprised if a journal actually expects you to submit with exactly the same font size in figures as in text. Figures often get resized in production, and so a perfect correspondence would be hard to achieve. Rather, the journals that I am familiar with say that fonts should be at least as big as the font used in the caption - which can be easily assessed 'by eye'.– avidDec 29, 2020 at 9:35

1Hello Andrea! Are you looking for a TeX-based solution? In this case, you might be interested in looking at the corresponding SE at tex.stackexchange.com, where approximate solutions already exist AFAIK.– Jonas SchwarzDec 29, 2020 at 10:02

@avid I would expect the same. Does your comment suffice for a full answer?– Jonas SchwarzDec 29, 2020 at 10:02

1@JonasSchwarz My supervisor asked me to write it in word. In the author guidelines, I just found a description for the size of the figures and the dpi.– AndreaDec 29, 2020 at 12:08

1@avid I have not published an article before so I just heard this fact. I was wondering as well and have not found anything about this in the author's guidelines.– AndreaDec 29, 2020 at 12:09
