Styles for Specific Academic Journals

The science + ieee styles for IEEE papers:

• IEEE requires figures to be readable when printed in black and white. The ieee style also sets the figure width to fit within one column of an IEEE paper and the resolution to 600 DPI.
• Note: The IEEE style will make your figures massive if you use it with plt.show(). To get around this, you can add plt.rcParams.update({'figure.dpi': '125'}) to the top of your script (see issue).

The science + nature styles for Nature articles:

• Nature recommends sans-serif fonts.
