respol-tables-figures

Use when exhibits are the bottleneck for a Research Policy (RP) manuscript — designing tables and figures (regression tables, patent/bibliometric maps, event-study plots, case data structures) that carry the innovation mechanism for an interdisciplinary readership. Builds exhibits; it does not run the analysis (respol-data-analysis) or write prose (respol-writing-style).

# Tables and Figures (respol-tables-figures)

## When to trigger

- The key result is buried in a wall-of-coefficients table no reader can parse
- A bibliometric/patent map or network is decorative — pretty but uninterpretable
- An event-study or dose-response plot is missing where the design demands one
- A qualitative paper has no data-structure table linking evidence to constructs
- A referee says exhibits "don't answer the question" or descriptive stats are missing/opaque

## The Research Policy exhibits bar

RP exhibits serve an **interdisciplinary** readership, so they must be self-explanatory to an economist, a management scholar, and a policymaker alike. Each exhibit should answer one question and visibly support the contribution; the headline result deserves a focused exhibit, not a dump of every specification. Innovation data also carry specific exhibit conventions: descriptive statistics that reveal the **skew and zeros** typical of patent/citation data, transparent variable definitions, and maps/networks that are *interpreted*, not merely displayed.
