Alternative Text (Alt Text)
In accordance with accessibility standards (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, WCAG), please provide alternative text (Alt Text) for every graphic (photo, chart, illustration). Alt Text is read by screen readers used by blind and visually impaired individuals.

Alt Text should concisely describe (1–2 sentences, maximum 150 characters) what is actually visible in the image, rather than providing an interpretation. It should complement the figure caption, not repeat it.

Please place the Alt Text in square brackets directly below the figure caption, for example:

[Alt Text: A flow chart showing a division into 4 departments with the CEO at the top of the structure].
