Citing Figures, Charts & Tables

• All tables and figures require a caption. A caption may be used to summarise or highlight certain elements or features of the table or figure.

• If the table or figure is adapted, edited or changed in any way from the original source, the citation underneath must clearly indicate this with the inclusion of the text 'Adapted from' between the caption and the citation to the original source.

• ​Use sequential numbering for Tables & Figures (Diagrams, Graphics etc.) using separate consecutive numbering for Tables and Figures
           ​For example:Table 1, Table 2, Table 3 ....

                      Figure 1, Figure 2 ....

• Any external datasets used in the creation of tables / figures / diagrams / graphs must be cited.
  See the APA blog for more information.
