Start each Table on a separate sheet, double-spaced.
Tables are numbered I, II etc and referred to in the text as Table I, etc. Headings are in capitals, centred (e.g., TABLE I) no stop.The descriptive caption (above the Table) is brief and in italics, except words normally in italics. Capital first letter, others lower-case apart from usual exceptions, with no final stop. Technical, statistical or explanatory details are presented as Footnotes to the Table using superscripts (see below). Only single horizontal lines are used to separate information in TABLES, usually restricted to three, rarely four, to organise variable parameters in data columns. Topmost and lowest lines are in bold. All other horizontal lines are light.Avoid very large, complex Tables, and use same type size and font as in main text. Plan each Table so that as much information as possible is in a clear, succinct caption. Details of ±SE, *. **, P values units etc in footnotes with lower-case superscript indicator symbols (e.g., § * # ∫) repeated in the TABLE.
