Correct. When writing a paper, it is very important to consider the best way to exchange information with readers. Especially when you plan to use data in the form of numbers, words or images to help build and support your argument. Generally speaking, data summary can take the form of text, tables or charts.

Tables list numbers or texts in the form of columns or rows, which can be used to synthesize existing literature, explain variables or ask survey questions. They separate the data from the text, which makes the article more readable. Tables are usually used to display raw data, not the relationships between variables.

Graphics are intuitive representations of results. They appear in the form of graphs, charts, pictures, photos or maps. Graphics provide visual effects and can effectively convey your main findings. Usually, they are used to display trends and relational patterns, but they can also be used to display complex data. Graphics should not repeat the same information in tables, and vice versa.
