Summary
This book offers readers essential guidance on creating figures that effectively present their findings. Figure examples have been updated to reflect the reporting standards and graphics presentation outlined in the sixth edition of the Publication manual of the American Psychological Association. Included in this revised edition are tips and tricks for designing figures as well as numerous examples of figures that accompany fictional studies. Chapters cover figures commonly used in psychology and other behavioural science journals, such as bar graphs, line graphs, plots, charts, and photographs. Quick-reference checklists for general and specific types of figures summarize important points to help readers save time in deciding on the best way to present figures. ( Back of Book)
