#to preserve the figure numbers for the consecutive papers without having an overlap with previous figure #numbers, I adapted the figure and table numbers to represent eacht paper; P1 for paper 1, P2 for paper 2 etc. #Then each figure/table would have : P1.1, P1.2 etc.. or P2.1, P2.2 etc..
#command added before the title of each paper. Below is the command for paper 1  (P1)
\renewcommand}{\thetable}{P1.\arabic{table}}
\setcounter{table}{0}
\renewcommand}{\thefigure}{P1.\arabic{figure}}
\setcounter{figure}{0}
