Topic : Re: Where to put a large diagram in a thesis? I was wondering what is the most acceptable way of including a large diagram in my thesis. The diagram takes up a full page and splits a paragraph. - selfpublishingguru.com

I believe that the same would apply to figures but, according to Thesis and Assignment Writing by Jonathan Anderson and Millicent Poole, a decision must be made whether to include tables in the body of the text or in an appendix.

They recommend that, if the material (a.k.a. figure) being presented is essential for the understanding of the argument, or essential for the conclusions that follow, it should be put in main body of the text, and preferably after its first reference. If it consists of supporting material, it can be placed in an appendix.

The aim should always be to present a smooth flowing argument or thesis.
