Requirements to tables and figures |
The number and content of tables and figures should be justified by the content and structure of a paper. While including figures and tables into the text of a paper it is necessary to consider the following: – the titles of tables and figures should strictly correspond to the data presented in them and be possibly short; – tables and figures should be “readable”, numbers and text typed in small font size (under 12 points) are not allowed; – references to statistical and other data used to compile tables and figures are made under a table or figure (Source: …); – all tables and figures must be mentioned in the text (as rule, before a table, a figure); – absence of any data in the table must be explained in the text; – colours used to decorate tables and figures should be justified and take into account colour possibilities of the journal. |
