joc-tables-figures

separate

Use when building tables and figures for a Journal of Communication (JoC) manuscript so exhibits are self-contained, accessible, APA-formatted, and counted toward the page budget correctly. JoC's 35-page limit includes tables and figures, so exhibits must earn their space. Designs exhibits; it does not run the analysis.

When to use

• Designing the main results table/figure
• Designing a key descriptive exhibit
• Deciding what belongs in the article vs. the supplemental materials
• Fixing an exhibit that is unclear, mislabeled, or non-self-contained
• Trimming to the 35-page limit by moving exhibits to supplemental materials
• Creating conjoint/AMCE plots
• Creating survey- and message-experiment treatment-effect plots
• Creating content-analysis reliability and category-frequency exhibits

When not to use

• Running the analysis
