In-text citation

Because the in-text citation and all the relevant information is in the caption below the image, simply use the numbered figure in the body of your assignment as shown below:

Table numbers are written sequentially and should not be followed by a full stop. When referring to each table in text, then use a capital T.

Table Titles are placed immediately under the table number and above the table. Titles are written in italics and should provide a brief explanation of the table. Use capitals for main words, but no full stop after the title.

Notes are written directly under the table with the word Note in italics with a full stop. Notes include explanations of abbreviations, symbols and acknowledgement that the table has been reproduced from another source.
