Punctuation at the end of table headings and figure captions [closed]
Solution 1:
This may be a question of taste or of editorial policy. A one sentence caption may end with a stop or no stop. A two sentence caption such as your example necessarily has a stop at the end of the first. For consistency it then seems best also to end the second with a stop. This seems even more desirable when there is punctuation within the second sentence - your example is well filled with commas and it seems odd not to complete the punctuation sequence with a stop.
