Photo captions are the most read body type in a publication. Of all
the information content, only the titles of articles and abstracts have higher
readership than captions. It follows that standards of accuracy, clarity,
completeness and good writing are as high for captions as for other parts of
the paper. As with headlines, captions must be crisp; as with articles, they
must be readable and informative.
Figure Captions: Captions describe
the photo or graph. Descriptions or discussion of the content of the Figure
should be handled in the text of the article.
