Diagrams etc. are usually accompanied by a brief description and are listed throughout a piece of work by figure number.                      

 When referring to diagrams, graphs, tables, illustrations, photographs, etc. in the text, you should use Figure number (and Source if relevant).

Note: Images adapted from other works - reproduced in your text 

A table of data or graph which is taken from another work should be acknowledged as a reference like any extract from a published source. In the context of a graph, it is labelled a figure, e.g. Figure 1. The source citation or InText Caption is placed after the title of the graph with the author’s, the year of publication and page number (if a book)

 notes

When referencing images that come from articles,

  • Check the article content for additional source information, such as a photographer or illustrator. 
  • If an alternate name is available, use that in place of the article's author(s).
  • If the image has a title or caption, use that in place of the article title. 
  • After the article or image title and before the journal title, insert the image type.
  • Image types are: Chart, Diagram, Graph, Illustration, Map, or Photograph
  • Replace the page range of the article with the page number for the image.
