Title of the appendix can be in the same format as the title of the other sections of your research paper or presentation. You can write it in the same font style and size. It can also be written in all capital letters, i. Use Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix C and so on to give them a proper ordering if you have to create more than one appendix. If you want to use numbers, write them like Appendix 1, Appendix 2, Appendix 3 and so on.
Whichever ordering style you use, i. Also, when you have more than one appendix, you should begin each of them on a new page. This is to avoid confusion for the reader on where one ends and other begins. Content should be ordered in the same order as they are referenced in the main text.
For example, if you have mentioned a chart in the first paragraph, you should place that chart first in the appendix. Same way, if you have mentioned about a table in the last chapter or at the end of the paper, it should be displayed in the last in your appendix. Ordering this way will be useful for the audience as it makes referencing easy and user-friendly. The appendix is generally placed after the reference list in the research paper.
However, you can place it as per the instruction of your professor if you are writing an assignment for your school. You should also mention the appendix title in the table content if you have created.
When there are more than one appendix, you should write each of them on the new page. So you will also need to give numbers to them. The numbers can be displayed at the bottom of the page in the center or the right corner. Make sure to use the same numbering style as used for the pages of the main body of your paper. Continue the numbering from the main body to the appendix so that it looks like a part of the paper. For example, if the last page of the main body of your paper is 20, you should continue numbering the pages of appendixes from Reviewing and editing is a must for any writing assignment.
A page like that is unnecessary. When I have an assignment limiting to a particular number of pages lets say 6 pages , do the appendix pages count as one of those six pages? Sara, Librarian Answer: Typically the appendix pages do not count as part of the paper. However, we suggest that you check with your instructor to make sure that's their expectation. If I have multiple pages to a report that I'd like to include in one appendix they are all part of the same report , do I continue to title each page Appendix A?
Sara, Librarian Reply: No. You only need to title the first page of each different appendix. Thank you for this exceedingly abundantly helpful resource. Janie Richter. How are appendices displayed in the ToC? Since the title is on a separate line my template is only showing "Appendix" but I'm wondering if it should show "Appendix - Title.
Since your instructor is responsible for the curriculum and grading rubrics, check with them to find out how they would like your appendix titles to appear in the table of contents. I'm required to transcript an interview and add it to my paper.
My first question is, do I add this interview as an appendix? If so, how do I do this considering the parameters of the APA style? Thank you in advance! Sara, Librarian Reply: You can add an interview transcript as an appendix. We highly recommend you talk to your instructor about how they want the transcript formatted and added to your paper.
If your instructor doesn't have any specific parameters for formatting in the appendix, we recommend sticking to standard APA formatting style: 12pt, Times New Roman font, double spaced, and 1 inch margins. Hi, I was just wondering what you name your appendix if you have more than 26 and have run out of alphabet letters? This is great! Much easier and quicker to read and grasp than the APA style guide. How do I provide in text reference to a table which appears in my appendix?
I know I have to refer to the table by table number but how do I say which page it is on in the appendices? How would you reference a figure from an appendix in-text? Sara, Librarian Reply: Hi TJ, we recommend that you include which appendix you are referencing in-text. So the example you would use is Appendix B, Figure 4. Do I need to reference an appendix each time it comes up in the document or just the first time it is referenced? Sara, Librarian Reply: Just as you would with an in-text citation, every time you mention an appendix make sure you reference it.
If the appendix is a survey or other pre-formatted document, what are the requirements for spacing of the body? In the main text, you should refer to the Appendices by their labels. The actual format of the appendix will vary depending on the content; therefore, there is no single format.
In general, the content of an appendix should conform to the appropriate APA style rules for formatting text. Because APA style uses parenthetical citations, you do not need to use footnotes or endnotes to cite your sources. The only reasons you need to use footnotes are for explanatory content notes or copyright permission. Content footnotes contain information that supplements the text, but would be distracting or inappropriate to include in the body of the paper.
In other words, content footnotes provide important information that is a tangent to what you are discussing in your paper. The footnote should only express one idea. If it is longer than a few sentences, then you should consider putting this information in an appendix. Definition An appendix contains supplementary material that is not an essential part of the text itself but which may be helpful in providing a more comprehensive understanding of the research problem or it is information that is too cumbersome to be included in the body of the paper.
Importance of It is appropriate to include appendices for the following reasons: Including this material in the body of the paper that would render it poorly structured or interrupt the narrative flow; Information is too lengthy and detailed to be easily summarized in the body of the paper; Inclusion of helpful, supporting, or useful material would otherwise distract the reader from the main content of the paper; Provides relevant information or data that is more easily understood or analyzed in a self-contained section of the paper; Can be used when there are constraints placed on the length of your paper; and, Provides a place to further demonstrate your understanding of the research problem by giving additional details about a new or innovative method, technical details, or design protocols.
Structure and Writing Style I. General Points to Consider When considering whether to include content in an appendix, keep in mind the following: It is usually good practice to include your raw data in an appendix, laying it out in a clear format so the reader can re-check your results. Another option if you have a large amount of raw data is to consider placing it online [e. Any tables and figures included in the appendix should be numbered as a separate sequence from the main paper.
Remember that appendices contain non-essential information that, if removed, would not diminish a reader's ability to understand the research problem being investigated.
This is why non-textual elements should not carry over the sequential numbering of non-textual elements in the body of your paper. If you have more than three appendices, consider listing them on a separate page in the table of contents. This will help the reader know what information is included in the appendices. Note that some works list appendices in the table of contents before the first chapter while other styles list the appendices after the conclusion but before your references.
Consult with your professor to confirm if there is a preferred approach. The appendix can be a good place to put maps, photographs, diagrams, and other images , if you feel that it will help the reader to understand the content of your paper, while keeping in mind the study should be understood without them.
An appendix should be streamlined and not loaded with a lot information. If you have a very long and complex appendix, it is a good idea to break it down into separate appendices, allowing the reader to find relevant information quickly as the information is covered in the body of the paper. There are very few rules regarding what type of material can be included in an appendix, but here are some common examples: Correspondence -- if your research included collaborations with others or outreach to others, then correspondence in the form of letters, memorandums, or copies of emails from those you interacted with could be included.
Interview Transcripts -- in qualitative research, interviewing respondents is often used to gather information.
