12. Research journal article--Legends for tables and illustrations

Refer to the Instructions for/to Contributors/Authors and a recent issue for specific details. In general, verb tenses are used in the following manner (13.1).

　

13.1

Present tense 

When referring to what is in the table or illustration 


or to what is considered to be true 



Past tense 

When referring to what was done in the study 



One caution with tables and figures is that they should be used only when necessary. If the table or figure is a very simple one with information which can easily be incorporated into the text, you get reviewer comments such as that shown in 13.4.
