Supplement Archive:

Elsevier Science is able to accept electronic supplementary material to support and enhance your scientific research.

Supplementary files offer the author additional possibilities to publish supporting materials, such as additional appendices, movies, animation sequences, high-resolution images, background datasets, sound clips and much, much more.

Supplementary files supplied will be published online alongside the electronic version of your article in Elsevier Science web products, including ScienceDirect.

In order to ensure that your submitted material is directly usable, please ensure that data is provided in one of our recommended file formats. Many of the formats given are well supported either by the predominant web browsers or globally prevalent applications meaning that the majority of readers will be able to view, open or play supplementary data with minimal effort.

It is recommended that you supply supplementary material along with your article rather than referring to internet addresses from within your article text. By doing this, Elsevier can ensure that the material will always be available online.
