Preparation of Figures and Tables

Figures and tables (display items) are frequently the most efficient method to communicate enormous quantities of complex information that would be difficult to describe in language.

Many viewers will merely look at your display elements without reading your manuscript's core material. As a consequence, make sure your display elements can stand alone from the text and properly explain your most important outcomes.

Tables are a quick and easy method to convey big quantities of information. You should carefully develop them so that you can effectively convey your findings to busy researchers.

The following is an example of a well-designed table:

  • Clear and concise legend/caption
  • Data divided into categories for clarity
  • Sufficient spacing between columns and rows
  • Units are provided
  • Font type and size are legible

Figures are ideal for presenting:

  • Images
  • Data plots
  • Maps
  • Schematics

Only black & white photo graphs can be submitted because the layout of the journal supports only black and white color. Just like tables all figures need to have a clear and concise legend caption to accompany them.

Images

Images assist readers in visualizing the information you are attempting to convey. It is sometimes difficult to be appropriately detailed with words. Images can aid in the precision required for a scientific publication. For example, just stating, "The surface contained nanometer size characteristics," may not suffice. It would be good in this scenario to give a microscope image. For images, be sure to:

  • Include scale bars
  • Consider labeling important items
  • Indicate the meaning of different colors and symbols used

Data plots

Data plots quickly express enormous amounts of information. Typically, the purpose is to demonstrate a functional or statistical link between two or more objects. However, details regarding individual data points are frequently ignored in order to emphasize the link demonstrated by the collection of points. Here, we have examples of figures combining images and plots in multiple panels. For data plots, be sure to:

  • Label all axes
  • Specify units for quantities
  • Label all curves and data sets
  • Use a legible font size

Drug Name

Generic names should be used. When proprietary brands are used in research, include the brand name and the name of the manufacturer in parentheses after first mentioning of the generic name in the Methods section.

Instruction for References Formats

In Vancouver style, all references should be numbered consecutively [throughout square brackets] in the text and listed in the reference section in the same numerical sequence.

Reference Lists

Different reference formats have different rules for citation. See below for some common format examples.

Journal Article

The required information for a journal article is author, abbreviated journal title, year, publication, volume number, and initial page of cited article, though complete pagination is possible. It is necessary to list all authors if the total number of author is six or less and for more than six authors use three authors and then et al (the term "et al." should be in italics). Journal abbreviations should follow the Index Medicus/MEDLINE. Capitalize the first letter of the first word in the title. The rest of the title is in lower-case, with the exception of proper names.
