All tables should be reduced to the simplest form and submitted on separate pages, numbered in Roman numerals and titled at the top in lower case. The desired position of each table should be clearly marked in the text. The authors are advised to use Microsoft Word table feature to prepare the tables with defined cells.
Do not create tables by using the space bar and/or tab keys. Do not use the enter key within the body of the table. Instead, separate data horizontally with a new row. Do not insert blank columns or rows in the table to create extra spacing between columns and rows.
Asterisks or letters next to values indicating statistical significance should appear in the same cell as the value, but not in an adjacent cell. The symbols *, ** and *** are always used to show 0.05, 0.01 and 0.001 probability levels respectively and should not used for any other purpose.
Spell out abbreviations on first mention in tables even if they have already been defined in the text. The reader should be able to understand the table content without referring back to the text.
Bold type, italic type or underlining can be used to highlight individual values in the table but shading is not allowed. In the body of a table, only the first letter of the first word in a row should be capitalised except for proper nouns.
