Are the illustrations of good quality?
Are they easy to digest?
The purpose of a diagram is to make things simpler and easier to digest...... not to add complexity!
Planning/writing your paper
Results
• Use graphs/illustrations rather than Tables whenever possible
• If your illustrations look ‘WOW’ this will colour the opinion of reviewers (and converse). Make sure they match the results claimed
• Summarise (‘predigest’) the results, rather than going through every detail; subheadings are essential (beware using an interpretation)
• Each section needs an introductory sentence that says why/how it was done (in relation to the storyline)
