It is sometimes useful to incorporate reproductions or copies of images, graphs, tables, diagrams, and drawings in your work. These materials can be cited as evidence to support scholarly claims in the text. They can be utilised to clearly and successfully present difficult material.
Figures include charts, graphs, drawings, photographs and other kinds of illustrations.
Images are a type of figure. They are visual depictions—e.g., photographs or computer-generated graphics.
Tables present numerical values/data or text in columns and rows.
At times the distinction between figures and tables can be unclear. Remember, tables are almost always displayed in column-row format. Any other illustration is referred to as a figure.
Number all tables sequentially as you refer to them in the text (Table 1, Table 2, etc.), likewise for figures (Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.).
