cps-tables-figures

Use when designing tables and figures for a Comparative Political Studies (CPS) manuscript so each exhibit is self-contained, comparative-legible, and SAGE-ready. Improves the exhibits; it does not run the analysis or set the data policy.

# Tables & Figures (cps-tables-figures)

CPS exhibits must carry the comparative argument on their own. A reviewer should grasp the cross-case or
over-time story from the figure and its caption without hunting through the text. Because references,
tables, and figures do **not** count toward the CPS word limit, exhibits are where you spend space —
but only if each one earns its place.

## When to trigger

- Building or revising the main-text tables and figures
- A reviewer found exhibits unreadable, over-stuffed, or not self-contained
- Deciding which exhibits belong in the paper vs. the supplementary/online appendix
- Preparing figures for SAGE production (color, resolution, grayscale legibility)
