Below the table, you may include explanatory notes as necessary notes that apply to a specific part of the table should be marked in the same manner as a footnote, but notes that apply to the whole table are merely treated as captions. Note that tables are enumerated with Roman numerals. The table is labelled with the same format as a section or appendix heading, along with a title.
Some horizontal lines may be removed if they are not necessary to understanding the table. In formatting tables, vertical lines are optional, and double horizontal lines may be used to signify the beginning and end of the table. In this context, “table” refers exclusively to data laid out in a grid format if the data is rendered into a graph or other more visual format, that is a figure. No matter how self-explanatory an expression like φ 2= 3*ξ may seem, if your reader doesn’t know what φ and ξ signify, you may as well be typing nonsense. In the case of equations, it is of primary importance to insure that, at some point in either the introduction or the explanation of the equation, you define the symbols used.
Moreover, you should follow the table / figure / equation with some form of explanation or connection to the broader point of your paper. If the data, or the figure itself, comes from an outside source, you should cite that source when you introduce the table / figure / equation. Please note that tables, figures, and equations should always be introduced within the body of the paper before you show the actual table / figure / equation. The numbering of figures does not impact the numbering of tables or equations, but each category is numbered independently – e.g., if you have three figures and then a table, that table is still Table I, not Table IV. For instance, if you have four figures in Section I, the first figure in Section II is simply Fig. Each should be numbered consecutively throughout the paper – i.e., the numbering system does not start over in a new section or in an appendix, but simply continues on. Tables, figures, and equations are the three categories of extra-textual items that require numbering and labelling. Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our terms and conditions of fair use.
