Too telegraphic:
Relation Between College Majors and Performance
Too detailed:
Mean Performance Scores on Test A, Test B, and Test C of
Students With Psychology, Physics & English Majors
Good title:

Majors
Have a column heading for every column
Standard abbreviations & symbols for
nontechnical terms may be used without
explanation.
▪ E.g.
▪ no. – number
▪ % - percentage
▪ Statistics: M – mean; SD – standard
deviation
Identify probability level values as note to
the table.
▪ Assign the same no. of asterisks if it
appears in more than one table.
E.g., *.05 alpha level
**.01 alpha level
Unparallel Parallel
Condition Condition
Functional psychotic Functional psychosis

Too brief:
Figure 3. Fixation duration.
Sufficiently descriptive:
Figure 3. Fixation duration as a function of the
delay between the beginning of eye fixation
and the onset of the stimulus in Experiment 1.
When you use tables or
figures, be certain to
mention all of them in
the text.
