What are "data commentaries"?

Data commentaries are some kinds of nonverbal information for the research paper. Table,graph and figure are the example of commentaries. There are some elements which were given in this article. The following elements are location elements, summary statements, highlighting statements, discussions of implications, problems,exceptions (Sweale & Feak, 1994, pg80)

In order to write a good commentaries, it's important to use proper words and phrases.

 For writing a thesis paper in graduate school, it's quite difficult to find out if the word is appropriate or not. I've learned we should not simply repeat the details on the table or graphs. If we try to cover all the information, it may cause some unjustified conclusions.
