Photographs as figures within a publication

Photographs as figures within a publication

When photographs are included as figures, they need to follow the conventions and styling used for all figures for the publication, including:

  • a source or credit below the image (before the figure name if this appears below the figure) or at the end of the figure title (see Acknowledge the source)
  • a figure number and descriptive title
  • any required notes (placed between the image and the source or credit)
  • a corresponding reference in the text
  • placement as early as practical after the text reference to the figure
  • if published online, alternative text for accessibility.
