(Abril, Lozano & Peña-Marin, 1982, p. 253).

11. Even in cases where a literal quotation is not included, but a paraphrased idea, it must be enclosed in parentheses (author, year, page).

In contrast to the title that belongs to a figure, which should always appear below the artwork, the title of a table should always be placed above the artwork. If a series of images are referenced together and in sequence the numbering starts to the final numbering a hyphen is added (see Figure 2-4). The Figures and Tables always include their bold numbering, legend, author, and year in parentheses, font, and, if applicable, web link. Table 1. Table captions should always be placed above the artwork. (Author, Year). Source: XXX. Figure 1. The legend belonging to a figure should always appear under the illustration. (Author, Year).
