  1. APPENDIXES, TABLES AND FIGURES

Footnotes in appendixes should be numbered consecutively with those in the rest of the text.

Numbering of equations, tables, and figures in appendixes should begin again with 1 (Equation A1, Table A1, Figure A1, etc., for Appendix A; Equation B1, Table B1, Figure B1, etc., for Appendix B).

No more than one table should appear on a page. Tables may run more than one page.

Tables should have brief captions. All explanatory material should be provided in notes at the bottom of the table.

Identify all quantities, units of measurement, and abbreviations for all entries.
Sources should be identified in full at the bottom of each table. Do not give cross-references to footnotes elsewhere in the article.

Figures should be provided in files separate from the text and should be clearly labeled.

Do not use shading or color in graphs. If distinctions need to be made visually, please use hatching and cross hatching or another means of display. Grays are difficult to reproduce and often appear blotchy in the printed journal.

Do not use figure boxes or rules around the figures.

Please use the Times Roman font if there is any lettering or text in your figure. Type should be 7 points or larger.

Graphics files should be black and white.

Figure captions should be placed together on a separate double-spaced page, labeled Figure Legends.

Figures may be no greater than 10 cm x 18 cm. To avoid substantial figure reduction, keys to identifying items in the figure should be set within or beneath the figure.
