Tables and figures are a concise representation of most or all of the data in a journal article. They must succinctly communicate the results. This presentation will offer advice on when to use tables instead of figures, and vice versa. It will provide tips for presenting tables and figures to effectively convey information without appearing cluttered. We will also discuss some of the most common mistakes made with tables and figures in journal article submissions.
