as shown in fig

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

This phrase is used to refer to something that is depicted or illustrated in a figure or diagram.

Examples:

  • As shown in fig 1, the temperature increases with time.
  • The relationship between pressure and volume is as shown in fig 2.
  • As shown in fig 3, the concentration of the reactant decreases over time.

Alternatives:

  • as depicted in fig
  • as illustrated in fig

as it is shown in fig

This phrase is correct but less common and slightly redundant.

This phrase can also be used to refer to something that is depicted or illustrated in a figure or diagram, but it includes an unnecessary pronoun 'it is'.

Examples:

  • As it is shown in fig 1, the trend is clear.
  • The data, as it is shown in fig 2, supports our hypothesis.
  • As it is shown in fig 3, the pattern is consistent.

Alternatives:

  • as shown in fig
  • as depicted in fig
  • as illustrated in fig
  • as indicated in fig
  • as demonstrated in fig
Both phrases are correct, but 'as shown in fig' is more commonly used and concise. 'As it is shown in fig' is also correct but less common and slightly redundant.
