Tables should be reserved for data that are more easily accessed by the reader in a column-and-row format. Please incorporate any tables into the end of your main Word document. You do not need to upload them as separate Word files; you may simply include them in your manuscript on a separate page following the References section, but before any Figure Legends.
Staff requires tables to be part of the Word file so they may be accessed for production. The text and table parts of your paper should be combined before upload—with all tables included in sequential order at the end of the manuscript.
Again, place Tables before figure captions in the manuscript.
Tables should be as simple as possible and be composed mostly of text characters. Graphic formats are NOT acceptable.
One to three horizontal lines may be used to divide header rows and sections.
Do not use vertical lines.
Each column in a table must have a head;
Do not introduce additional or new column heads part way down; create another table instead.
Spreadsheet generated tables should be reconfigured and placed in the word-processing document.
Type each table and its brief caption on its own page.
Indicate explanatory footnotes with superscript lowercase italic letters in alphabetical order, reading across the table.
Number tables consecutively with Arabic numerals.
Give every column a heading with clearly defined units as appropriate.
Please make sure your table is clearly labeled (Table 1, Table 2, etc.) to avoid confusion in production or in the reading of the table.
Large or complex tables or tables that include graphic elements should be submitted as figures or as Supplemental Data for online publication only.
