Figures and Tables
Figures and Tables must show only the most
important and final research results.
If your research argument can be explained
in 1-2 sentences, Figures or Tables are not necessary.
If your research argument needs to be clarified in a
long, extensive, and complex sentence of 20-30 words,
a Figure or Table is recommended.
Figures *
Charts, graphs, diagrams, images, photos, drawings,
paintings with fine shading, etc. must be inserted
electronically in the text. They must be black and white,
no shading, white background; the PNG images of min.
300 dpi; the scanned images of min. 1200 dpi.
Save them also in a separate file.
Page layout for Figures
Paragraph 1. At the end of the long, extensive, and
complex sentence of 20-30 words explaining your
research argument, write the Figure reference, into
parentheses ("Figure 1", "Figures 2 and 3" or "Figures
4-7").
Paragraph 2. Just in the next line, insert the
mentioned Figure (image, chart, graph, photo, etc.).
Frame is excluded.
Under and totally outside of the Figure, write all
additional explanations about the Figure, preceded by
the words: „NB:”, „Legend:” or „Source:”. Frame is
excluded.
Paragraph 3. Under and totally outside of additional
explanations, on the left side of the page, write the
designation of Figure (Figure, number of the Figure, a
dot (.), and the designation of the Figure). Frame is
excluded.
Select the Figure designation, including “¶” and click
on “EEA_14-Legend Figure”, in the Style menu.
Do not write a dot at the end! The designation of
Figure is a title!
Paragraph 4. In a long, extensive, and complex
sentence of 20-30 words, explain in detail what the
Figure depicts.
Tables *
Each Table is written directly in the paper file (as
editable text), using font Trebuchet MS, size 8, and
