Tables

Tables should be submitted in the same format as your article and embedded in the main body of the article. Please note: Bench>Press cannot accept Excel files. If your table(s) are in Excel, copy and paste them into the manuscript file (where cited is preferable). In extreme circumstances, Excel files can be uploaded as supplementary files; however, we advise against this as they will not be acceptable if your article is accepted for publication.

Tables should be self-explanatory, and the data they contain must not be duplicated in the text or figures.
