Note: For creating your own tables, figures, and images see the Paper Formatting Section of This Guide. 

If you include or adapt a table, figure, or image you must include: 

• In bold, left hand justified, label as Table # or Figure #. For Example: Table 2, Figure 4 
• One double spaced line below table number, in italics with all major words capitalized, include the title.
• Below the table or figure, include a note describing the table, figure, or image. The word Note is
  italicized. 
• An attribution for the source: From title (in quotations), by Authors (first name initial /last name), Year, Journal Title, Volume (Issue), Page Number, DOI number. If you do not have a DOI number exclude it. If it is from an internet site, include the URL in place of the DOI.    
• A copyright attribution indicating the original source (typically the publisher). 
• A reference entry for the table, figure, or image. 
• If publishing professionally in a journal, you need to get copyright permission from the author.
