Understand "What are Figures and Tables?"
Understand how to cite sources in world languages
Any type of illustrative visual material—for example, a photograph, map, line drawing, graph, or chart—should be:
1. Labeled Figure (usually abbreviated Fig.), assigned a number, and given a caption with in-text citation.
Tables are separate from Figures and have their own formatting requirements.

Take a look at this sample paper to see how Figures are properly formatted and cited within a piece of writing.
How do you cite a Figure (photograph, chart, graph, illustration) that you have made yourself?
"...authors should cite their own work the same way they would cite any other source." Link
Example:
Ardea Smith made this chart for a project on August 20, 2024 using Google Sheets.
Figure 1. Smith, Ardea. Chart of Books that make me laugh. Google Sheets. August 20, 2024.
No full citation needed.
"If the photograph is not publicly accessible, you might choose to reproduce it in your paper. In this instance there is no need to credit yourself as the author of the [figure]. Unless otherwise indicated, the reader should assume that you are the author of the images included in your paper. Since the caption provides sufficient information, no works-cited-list entry is needed."

A table is a visual representation of data with columns and rows.
Example:
To properly format a Table in MLA style:
"A table is labeled Table, given an arabic numeral, and titled. Place the source of the table and any notes in a caption immediately below the table."
Example:
If you adapt the table to fit the needs of your work (changing the formatting of the columns/rows/labels - NOT THE DATA ITSELF), acknowledge that you adapted the original table format with the following below the Table:
Source: Adapted from (in-text citation)
Example
Source: Adapted from (Keeman).
The full citation will be in your Works Cited.
If you combined multiple sources of data in a custom table, acknowledge this with the following below the Table:
Source: Adapted from (in-text citation); (in-text citation); (in-text citation).
Example
Source: Adapted from (Smith) (Halliday) (Clouting)
The full citations will be in your Works Cited.
When you analyze the data presented in a Table or some element present in a Figure (maybe the Figures color use or composition or the characters in a screenshot from a film), you need to let the reader know which Figure or Table you are referring to.
There are 2 ways to do this.
1.
The rich bold strokes of Vincent Van Gogh in his work Grass and Butterflies (see Fig 1) highlights the texture of the paint and represents his signature style of painting.
Fig. 1. Grass and butterflies (Gogh).
2.
As seen in Figure 1 the rich bold strokes of Vincent Van Gogh in his work Grass and Butterflies highlights the texture of the paint and represents his signature style of painting.
Fig. 1. Grass and butterflies (Gogh).
Another example:
If you are properly formatting and labeling your Figures and Tables + referencing the Figure # / Table # in your writing, you are doing everything correctly!
