Gustavii | How to Prepare Graphs
Beading Björn Gustavii’s chapters on “How to Prepare Graphs” and “Designing Tables” (PDFs below) from How to Write and Illustrate a Scientific Paper shows us creating good graphs and tables isn’t always straight-forward. Write a thoughtful response that walks us through the process of how you would create graphs and tables. You may find the following questions helpful as you formulate your response:
1. How do you determine the title for a graph or table? How does this relate to Gustavii’s descriiption of titling?
2. How do you know what kind of graph to use? What’s your process for deciding which type?
3. How do you decide which headings to use or how to phrase them?
4. What’s your process for representing numbers and rounding off? How many decimal points do you show?
5. What did you learn from these chapters that will help you create tables in the future?
