It's discussed here with some references: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3243/why-should-a-table-caption-be-placed-above-the-table I took a quick looks as some different journals for which I have articles with both tables and figures on my computer. 7 had the configuration table captions above and figure caption below. One had both captions above. One had mixed figure captions (some years above some years below). So for sure table captions should be above. Probably figure captions should be below. It makes sense. —Rasmus -- I almost cut my hair, it happened just the other day
