phg-tables-figures

Use when designing the conceptual exhibits of a Progress in Human Geography (PiHG) review essay — typologies, framework diagrams, concept genealogies, and synthesis tables that do argumentative work. For a review journal these are conceptual, not data graphics. Designs exhibits; it does not build the argument itself.

# Conceptual Exhibits (phg-tables-figures)

PiHG is a **review and theory** journal, so its figures and tables are **conceptual, not empirical**. You
are not plotting results (there are none); you are giving the reader a **map of the argument** — a
typology that organizes a field, a framework diagram that shows how your concept links literatures, a
genealogy that periodizes a concept, or a synthesis table that adjudicates camps. A good exhibit **does
synthetic work**; a decorative one wastes a scarce slot in a short essay.

## When to trigger

- Deciding whether an exhibit earns its place in an ~8,000-word essay
- Turning a complex synthesis into a single legible figure or table
- A reviewer said a section is "hard to follow" or "the framework is unclear"
- Building the one diagram readers will screenshot and reuse
