See chapter4 <strong>of</strong> the Chicago Manual <strong>of</strong> Style, 15th edition (2003).

Chapter 8 describes criteria <strong>for</strong>using tables as well as general design principles <strong>for</strong> them. This section covers most <strong>of</strong> theissues you are likely to encounter in their preparation. Tables 26.1–26.3 provide examples <strong>of</strong>the principles discussed here.Tables vary widely in the complexity <strong>of</strong> their content <strong>and</strong> there<strong>for</strong>e in their structure, butconsistency both within <strong>and</strong> across tables is essential to ensure that readers will underst<strong>and</strong>your data.Use arabic numerals <strong>for</strong> all numerical data in tables unless otherwise noted. To save space,you can use abbreviations <strong>and</strong> symbols more freely than you can in text, but use themsparingly <strong>and</strong> consistently. If st<strong>and</strong>ard abbreviations do not exist, create your own <strong>and</strong> explainthem either in a footnote to the table (see 26.2.7) or, if there are many, in a list <strong>of</strong>abbreviations in your paper's front matter (see A.2.1).www.itpub.net
