Individual skill
govern-tables-figures
Use when building tables and figures for a Governance: An International Journal of Policy, Administration, and Institutions manuscript so exhibits carry comparative/institutional arguments across countries and are self-contained, accessible, and grayscale-legible. Designs cross-national tables, regression tables, coefficient/event-study plots, and maps; it does not run the analysis.

# Tables & Figures (govern-tables-figures)
In a *Governance* paper the exhibits are where a comparative reviewer checks whether the institutional
claim actually **travels**. A single-country result dressed up as a wall of coefficients reads as
parochial; a clean cross-national table or a coefficient plot that shows where the effect holds and
where it does not reads as a contribution to how the state governs. With a working cap of **≤ 9,000
words excluding citations/bibliography** (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准), every exhibit must earn its place,
and the heavy robustness grids belong in the supplementary file, not the article.
## When to trigger
- Designing the main results table/figure or the key descriptive comparative exhibit
- Showing cross-country / cross-institution variation (a map, a small-multiples panel, a forest plot)
- Deciding what stays in the article vs. moves to supplementary material
