II. Figures and Tables
Please see Table 1 and Table 2 for formatting specifications and fonts. Figure captions should always be below the figure. Table captions should always be above the table. Figures and tables should always be centred in the column. Figures and tables should be placed in numerical order; for example, Figure 2 should not appear before Figure 1.
Do not abbreviate "Figure" or "Table" in the caption or in citing a figure or a table, i.e., Fig. 3 should be used; and "Figure 3" should be used instead. If a figure or table is borrowed from a published source, citation of the source must be shown at the end of the caption.
Try to avoid scanned images; and in case they must be used, they should be sufficiently clear. |
