pubar-tables-figures

separate

Use when building tables and figures for a Public Administration Review (PAR) manuscript so exhibits are self-contained, accessible, and communicate effect magnitude to scholars and practitioners alike. PAR excludes tables/figures/appendices from the 8,000-word count, but exhibits still 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. an online appendix
• Fixing unclear, mislabeled, or non-self-contained exhibits
• Translating a coefficient into something a public manager can read
• Creating event-study plots around a reform
• Creating predicted-probability or marginal-effects plots
• Creating maps for cross-jurisdiction variation

When not to use

• Running the analysis
