13 days oldThe repository was created 13 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Audit and plan thesis figures and tables for provenance, scientific meaning, panel mapping, readability, captions, layout, duplication, and text integration. Use when figures are missing, low resolution, distorted, reused, incorrectly grouped, poorly captioned, inconsistent with PPT/raw data, or when tables contain prose instead of comparable values or must follow three-line-table conventions.

Thesis Figure and Table Audit

Treat every figure and table as evidence, not decoration.

Figure workflow

Register the asset in figure_manifest.csv.
Inspect the highest-resolution source and native data when available.
Identify sample, condition, time, axes, units, scale bars, legend, colorbar, and every panel.
Confirm that the figure supports the intended claim.
Decide whether to retain, split, regroup, redraw from data, or remove it.
Write Chinese and English captions with complete panel mapping.
Confirm the body discusses every retained panel and comparison.
Inspect the actual Word/PDF display size.

Do not stretch an image independently in width and height. Do not enlarge a low-resolution screenshot and call it high resolution.

Provenance

Use only the provenance types in references/figure-policy.md. A publication figure must have a verified source reference. An AI-generated illustration must be labeled illustrative and cannot establish a scientific result.

Group figures

Group panels only when they answer one question and remain readable at final page width. Prefer shared axes/colorbars only when scales are truly comparable. If panels use different color limits, state that color intensity cannot be compared quantitatively across panels.

Captions

When panel labels exist, explain them inside the figure title, for example:

图 3.4 （a）...；（b）...；（c）...；（d）...
Figure 3.4 (a) ...; (b) ...; (c) ...; (d) ...

Do not invent (a) labels for a figure that has none. Put source citations in the institutional form required by the thesis template.

Tables

Read references/table-policy.md. Keep data and compact categorical fields in cells. Move long explanations, causal analysis, and limitations to the body. Use real Word borders for three-line tables, not drawn lines or screenshots.

Tools

Audit a figure manifest and source files:

python scripts/audit_figure_manifest.py figures/figure_manifest.csv \
  --project-root . --strict --report reports/figures.json

Audit embedded DOCX media for dimensions and duplicate hashes:

python scripts/audit_docx_media.py thesis.docx --report reports/docx-media.json

Block final delivery for unknown provenance, missing files, unexplained panels, distorted aspect ratios, unreadable axes, or figures not discussed in text.
