Teach you how to use stata to export high-definition meta-analysis tif pictures

As a meta-analysis tool, Stata is simple, easy to operate, and efficient, and is popular among meta beginners. But when submitting to SCI, most journals require the pictures to be in tif format, and the resolution needs to be above 300dpi. After we use stata to make the forest map, most people will save it directly, as shown below:


directly use stata output The resolution of the tif file is very small, only about 75dpi, which is far from meeting the requirements of SCI, and editors will be very annoyed by it. As shown in the picture below, the editor directly pointed out that the quality of the picture is very poor. You’re welcome. Ask to change the picture.

Today we’ll demonstrate how to use stata to make a forest picture that satisfies the editor. The same applies to other pictures. You need to use Photoshop software. Download it in advance. When we make the forest map, save it in eps format. After


saving, we use Photoshop to open the saved picture in eps format, then change the resolution to 300, the color to RGB color, click OK

and then change Save the file as tif format,

choose LZW for image compression, and choose ZIP for layer compression, click OK, so that a forest map that meets SCI requirements is ready.
