Tables
Tables should replace text, not duplicate it. The numbering scheme should reflect each table's physical location in the document—tables in main text start with "TABLE 1."; tables in appendix start with "TABLE A1." See our sample table for further instructions.
GENERAL
- Use a sans serif roman type such as Arial or Helvetica and 7-point type.
- If possible, build the table using Microsoft Word's table utility.
- Do not grid the table with horizontal and vertical lines.
- Use italic type ONLY IF specifically required (e.g., genus and species names).
- Use abbreviations ONLY IF REQUIRED by limited space. Define uncommon and special abbreviations in footnotes.
SYMBOLS
If several items in a table require footnotes, use relative position in the table to determine the order in which footnotes are marked. Use the following sequence for footnotes: * (asterisk), † (dagger), § (sections mark), # (pound symbol), **, ††, §§, ##, ***, †††, §§§, ###, and so on. If asterisks already appear in the table (such as *Ar for radiogenic argon), do not use them in footnotes; start footnotes with a single dagger (†).
