Tables and Figures

Tables and figures should improve understanding and match the analysis reported in the text.

Practical checklist

1. Create readable legends and labels.
2. Use appropriately high-resolution figures.
3. Avoid duplication between tables and surrounding paragraphs.

Additional considerations

Make sure that statements are supported by appropriate references and that your writing clearly distinguishes reported evidence, interpretation and recommendations. Review the original journal instructions for detailed format rules and current requirements.
