A report cover (hereinafter, the Cover) is the the front and back of a report. The Cover is an optional part of report's front matter; when the Cover is included, it functions as a part of report's descriptive metadata.


Description

The ANSI/NISO Scientific and Technical Reports standard details,


list(s) of figures and tables,

If a report contains more than five figures or tables, or some combination totaling more than five, a list of figures and/or tables is required. If a report contains fewer than five figures or tables, a list is optional. Figures and tables in the table of contents are numbered, worded, spelled, and punctuated exactly as they are in the report. The lists of figures and tables, titled “Figures” and “Tables,” respectively, follow the contents section. If the table of contents fills only half a page, the lists of figures and tables may follow the table of contents on the same


page. If lists of figures and tables are included in a report, all figures and tables are listed with their corresponding locations. A list of figures precedes a list of tables. If a report has many figures and few tables or few figures and many tables, they can be combined into a single list (“Figures and Tables”) with figures preceding tables.
