Tables, Figures, Illustrations
Re-using previously published tables, figures, and illustrations often require unique citations and formatting. Always consult with a Research & Learning Librarian for advice on how to cite these types of items. Tables and figures should include the figure title, followed by a permission statement and the complete citation for the original publication. Illustrations, photos, and artwork may have different requirements, so you need to contact a research librarian.
