Figures and Tables Formatting

Figures

For figures, your captions should utilize the Captions Below style pane in the template. The caption should have the Figure # followed by a period, then the figure caption with only the first word of the sentence capitalized. If you include a sample size, then there should be a comma before the ( ). If it's the whole sample size you'll use an italicized capital N (N=##). If it's a subset of the sample size, you'll use an italicized lower case n (n=##). For more information on Figure Captions, see the Figure Captions video from the Formatting Self-Check page (we'll use this page in MSSE 505 and 509).

Tables

For tables, your captions should utilize the Captions Above style pane in the template. The caption should have the Table # followed by a period, then the table caption with only the first word of the sentence capitalized. If you include a sample size, then there should be a comma before the ( ). If it's the whole sample size you'll use an italicized capital N (N=##).

For more information on Table Captions, see the Table Captions video from the Formatting Self-Check page (we'll use this page in MSSE 505 and 509).
