Tables & Figures (joap-tables-figures)

In JAP, exhibits do a lot of the evidentiary work: the means-SD-correlation-reliability table, the path/CFA diagram, the multilevel result table, and (for syntheses) the forest/funnel plot. They follow APA 7th-edition conventions and must be self-contained and consistent with the reported analysis. Good exhibits show effect sizes, confidence intervals, and reliabilities, not just stars.

When to trigger

• Designing the descriptives/correlation table or the main results exhibit
• Drawing a CFA/SEM path diagram or a multilevel result table
• Building a meta-analytic forest/funnel plot
• A reviewer found an exhibit unclear, non-APA, or inconsistent with the text
