| Tables and Figures
|
| Should be
| Examples
|
| 1. clearly presented
| - Tables/ figures should be centered on the page so that there is a clear boundary between text and table.
- Tables/ figures should be presented as soon as possible after they are first referred to in the text.
|
| 2. clearly numbered
| -Tables/ figures are numbered sequentially in the order of presentation (Figure 1, Figure 2, etc).
- Tables should be numbered separately from figures. Tables following one sequence, figures another sequence.
- Sometimes there are two numbers: the first number representing the sections of the report and the second number representing the sequence of tables within the section (Table 2.1 would be the first table in the second section of the report).
|
| 3. clearly captioned
| -Table numbers and titles (captions) should be placed above the table.
- Figures numbers and captions should be placed below the figure.
|
| Referring to tables and figures
|
| 1.clauses beginning with as
| - As shown (as can be seen from the data/ as shown by the data) in Table I below, lipids were found in hamburgers, hot dogs, potato chips, pizza and doughnuts.
- X and Y remained constant, as revealed by Figure 3.
|
| 2. passive voice
| -Mean weights for samples are shown/ provided/ given in Table 1.
|
| 3. brackets with or without the verb see
| - On average female wasps were twice as numerous as male wasps (Table 1).
- Each sample tested positive for the three nutrients (see Table 2).
- Plant growth did not differ across irrigation treatments (Figure 1).
|
| 4. active voice (if it is appropriate in your discipline)
| -Table 1 shows/ provides/ gives/ suggests mean weights for samples.
