If you are combining information from multiple sources to create a chart of your own, then label your own chart using the word Figure and allocate the numbers sequentially, for example: Figure 1.
Give the chart a meaningful title to describe the combined information.
At the end of the title, list the reference numbers for each separate item you have referred to.
Table number. Title. Reference number
Table 3. Estimated UK prevalence of diabetes.(1, 2, 13-14)
Reference list:
Each reference to the information, e.g. different tables or charts, you have used to create your own chart will require a separate entry in your Reference list. Even if you have used two tables from one article and combined the information into your own chart, you will need to reference each source separately in your reference list, as each table in the article will have a separate title.
In your Reference list, for each table or chart that you have used, write the number of the original table/chart and original table/chart title as set out in the article and the page number where the table was listed.
You need to add [adapted] at the end of each reference as you have merged the information to create your own graph.
