Figures, tables and equations

Connect through to format examples which provide a review of each component that needs to be included in a reference.

Then move to the FURTHER EXAMPLES table with many examples of book and e-book format types. 

Figures and tables in your own work

If you have provided your own figure, table or equation, there will be no references. However all tables and figures in your paper must be referred to in the main body of the text:

Electronic equipment casings are shown in Fig. 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Other specifications for these three casings are given in Table 1. Equations (1), (2), and (3) were applied for the thermal design of ventilated enclosures used in the equipment casings.

Figures, tables and equations within a paper are numbered consecutively from the beginning of the paper to the end.

Figures, tables and equations from another source

Figures are visual presentations of results, such as graphs, diagrams, images, drawings, schematics, maps, etc. 

If you are referring to a specific figure, table or equation found in another source, place a citation number in brackets directly after its mention in the text, and then use the following notation, including the full details of the source in the reference list. 

Figure                   … as illustrated in [5, Fig. 1]

Table                     … is presented in [5, Tab. 3]

Equation              … as seen in [5, eq. (2)]

Do not write phrases such as “in Fig. 1 of reference [5]”; rather the text should be edited to read simply “in [5, Fig. 1]”. Similarly, rewrite phrases such as “in equation (2) of reference [5]” to be [5, eq. (2)].

The reference of the figure, table or equation is included in the reference list in accordance with the source format within which this information is provided, e.g. book, journal article, and technical report of this guide.
