Summary
There are many difficulties in presenting data to the best advantage, using Figures, Tables, images, schemas, etc. Issues such as size, amount of data being included, optimal layout for ease of reading, and other problems are covered. Units, scale bars, statistical indicators, significance and a host of other matters are discussed. The place to present data is considered, i.e. whether some of the slightly less relevant findings or methods should go into 'Supplementary Information'.
