jop-tables-figures
Use when designing tables and figures for a The Journal of Politics (JOP) manuscript. JOP counts pages (not words) and includes tables and figures in the page limit, so exhibits must be self-contained, legible, regenerated by code, and economical with space. Designs exhibits; it does not run analyses.

# Tables & Figures (jop-tables-figures)
At JOP, exhibits compete directly for **pages**: tables and figures **count toward** the 35-page
(Research Article) or 10-page (Short Article) limit. Every exhibit must earn its space, stand on its own,
and be **regenerated by the deposited code** so the replication analyst's re-run matches the printed page.
## When to trigger
- Designing or revising the main tables and figures
- A reviewer found an exhibit unclear, overcrowded, or redundant
- The paper is over the page budget and exhibits are the obvious place to cut
- Deciding which exhibits belong in the main text vs the Online Appendix
## Principles
