Figures include diagrams and all types of graphs. An image, photo, illustration or screenshot displayed for scientific purposes is classed as a figure.
All figures in your paper must be referred to in the main body of the text. At the bottom of the figure is the title, explaining what the figure is showing and the legend, i.e. an explanation of what the symbols, acronyms or colours mean.
In-text citation:
The in-text reference is placed beneath the legend and title with the heading 'Figure' and starts with a sequential figure number (e.g. Figure 1, Figure 2).
eg.
Figure 1: PHYSICAL PRODUCTION, selected commodities, Australia, 2010-11 to 2015-16 (Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics 2017)
If the source is from a book or journal (print or electronic) or from a web document with page numbers, add the page number to the in-text citation.
If the figure is altered in any way from the original source, add 'Modified from source', eg.
(Modified from source: Australian Bureau of Statistics 2017)
In main text:
Production of sugar in Australia was estimated at 34 million tonnes in 2015-16 (Figure 1).

References should be listed in the Harvard Referencing Style according to format.

Tables are numerical values or text displayed in rows and columns.
In-text citation:
Each table should be displayed with a brief explanatory title at the top.
Number all tables in the order they appear in the text.
e.g.
Table 27.4 Immunity to selected bacterial infections
| Infection | Pathogenesis | Major Defence Mechanism |
|---|---|---|
| Diptheria | Toxin | Neutralising antibody |
| Cholera | Enterotoxin |
IgA blocking adhesion in gut Neutralising antibody |
| Meningitis | Bacteraemia, meningitis | Antibody and complement aid phagocytosis, kill bacteria by Iysis |
| Staphylococcus aureus | Locally invasive, toxic in skin | Antibody and complement aid phagocytosis, bacteria killed by phagocytes |
| Tuberculosis | Survives within macrophages | Macrophage activation by T-cell cytokine |
(Source: Knox et al. 2014, p. 669.)
If the table is altered in any way from the original source, add 'Modified from source'.
eg.
(Modified from source: Knox et al. 2014, p. 669.)
In main text:
Some bacteria, like those that cause tuberculosis, have evolved the means of surviving and living within phagocytic macrophages (Table 27.4).
OR
As Table 27.4 shows, some bacteria, like those that cause tuberculosis, have evolved the means of surviving and living within phagocytic macrophages.
