GRAPHIC ELEMENTS

Notes in Figures are used to add information that needs to be clarified regarding the content of the figures.
  • The structure of the figure or table heading will consist of Bold numbered label → Bold point → Title in italics → (Year of elaboration in parentheses) → Comma → Author's name in case it is not own elaboration →Final point.

Examples:

Figure 6. Painting 3 (2024), Juan Pérez.

Table 11. Descriptive statistics and correlations for study variables (2017).
