Table

Table numbers and titles are placed above the table (in bold). The distance between the table and the text, both before and after, is 1 space. The subvariable is indented one character from the variable. Writing numbers is center-aligned; for titles, it is center-aligned; and descriptions such as variables and subvariables are left-aligned. If one variable consists of more than two variables, the different variable titles are printed in bold (Bold). Writing decimal numbers requires a maximum of three decimal places. The narration is not a repetition of narrated tables but is adapted to the objectives of the study. Tables should not be truncated on different pages. Table cutting is permitted if it exceeds one page, provided that the table has started from the top and is not sufficient to require additional space.

Figures/Pictures/Graphs

Pictures, diagrams, and graphs are placed after the narration of the pictures, diagrams, and graphs. Pictures, diagrams, and graphics cannot be framed. The description of the figure, diagram, or graph is below or next to the figure, not above it. Captions or captions for pictures, diagrams, or graphics are below the pictures.
