: Critique: Is this a good way to present images and captions for research document? I have put lots of pictures/images in my document and I would like to refer them. Below is my attemption

@Alves566

I think it looks fine since it will be printed in color as long as it makes sense in the larger scheme of your document. The only suggestion I have is since you're printing in color, keep the blue for links but get rid of the underline. It will make them easier to read. You might also consider doing the link with at least the source name like:

National Institute of Health (http://nih.gov/science/)

Nature: International weekly journal of science (http://www.nature.com/news/drug-brings-hiv-out-of-hiding-1.10180)



But really you should probably check a style guide. Maybe the AMA (American Medical Association) if there is no style guide in your country.

According to www.evansville.edu/libraries/ama.cfm the correct format for websites is:


INTERNET SOURCES
Citations to Internet sources aren't as rigid as those surrounding books and articles. If you have doubts about what to include, usually the quick rule is "more is better". Important elements to include are:


Author(s)' last name and first and middle initials (if known)
Name of article/webpage
If it is an abstract, note in [brackets] - OR
Name of journal, if appropriate, with a [serial online] notation, followed by year;volume:pages
Phrase "Available at:" and the URL of the page
Phrase "Accessed" and the date you looked at it


Each element is followed by a period.

Oh but make sure they're aligned the same. Consistency, consistency, consistency. Right now the top image has the caption one line up from the bottom. The second caption is aligned with the bottom. The third one looks like your screenshot was cut so its hard to say.
