Use parenthetical notation for references even if your journal calls for numbers. These can be replaced later. Do not use hyperlinking within document since IEEE can not handle it yet – along with many other publishers. Do not link figures or tables either – use Table # instead and will fill in at end.

# After approved – prepare article for submission. Following technical directions is key! '''Print out requirements and go through and check off each one to ensure compliance.''' Format of both text, tables and figures (See: [[How to make a figure to publish]]) must be exactly as requested by the journal. Make sure enough dpi, etc. Put references in final formatting if required. When possible use eps for SEO optimization.
