Guidelines for manual identification of image text regions.

  1. Image texts that form a coherent entity, such as “bcl-xl (+)”, “p<0.01”, and “S.E. RECOVERSOLUTION (i,j,k)” are considered individual text regions

  2. Symbols that are attached to a word, such as brackets, forward slashes, and dashes, e.g. “MMC-transgenic” and “vif(+)” are part of the same term.

  3. Include Greek letters, and letters in subscript and superscript

  4. Labels consisting of numbers or single letters are considered standalone image text regions
