# Tables & Figures (ajs-tables-figures)
AJS has **specific house conventions** for exhibits, and it now **requires alt text for every figure
at submission**. Get the mechanics right so the exhibits read cleanly under double-blind review and
pass straight into production. Verify current formatting against the AJS Manuscript Preparation pages
and Formatting PDF before submission.
## When to trigger
- Building or revising tables and figures for an AJS submission
- Preparing the post-text exhibit sections and appendix tables
- Writing alt text and captions
- A reader said an exhibit was unreadable, mislabeled, or non-self-contained
