ajps-tables-figures

Use when building tables and figures for an American Journal of Political Science (AJPS) manuscript. AJPS counts table/figure headers and notes toward the word limit, and the deposited code must regenerate every exhibit exactly for third-party verification. Designs self-contained, reproducible exhibits; it does not run the analysis.

# Tables & Figures (ajps-tables-figures)

Exhibits are where an expert reviewer checks whether the result is real — and at AJPS they carry two
extra constraints. First, the **headers and notes of tables and figures count toward the word limit**
(the body, notes, and printed captions are all in scope; references and online SI are not). Second,
every exhibit must be **regenerated by the deposited code**, because a third-party verifier re-runs it
against the main-text numbers. So each exhibit must earn its words *and* its reproducibility.

## When to trigger

- Designing the main results table/figure or a key descriptive exhibit
- Deciding what belongs in the article vs. the online Supporting Information (SI, <= 25 pages for original submissions)
- A reviewer found an exhibit unclear, mislabeled, or not self-contained
- Trimming to the word cap by moving exhibits to the SI
