Written for undergraduate students and new graduate students in psychology experimental , this handout provides information on writing in psychology and on experimental report and experimental article writing. Appendices allow you to include detailed information in your paper that would be distracting in the main body of the paper.
Examples of items you might have in an appendix include mathematical proofs, lists of words, the questionnaire used in the research, a detailed description of an apparatus used in the research, etc. Your paper may have more than one appendix. Usually, each distinct item has its own appendix. If your paper only has one appendix, label it "Appendix" without quotes. If there is more than one appendix, label them "Appendix A," "Appendix B," etc.
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.
To learn more, see Academic integrity or the Citing and referencing Library guide. Appendices contain material that is too detailed to include in the main report, such as long mathematical derivations or calculations, detailed technical drawings, or tables of raw data.
The content should be summarised and referred to at the appropriate point in the the body of the report. The conventions for appendices are as follows:.

How can I study with integrity? Since I already used table 1 as an appendix. Would that mean I can't use Appendix A since it is not the first then?
If your first appendix consists entirely of a table, you should still label it "Appendix A" rather than "Table 1. You can refer to it as such in the text, mentioning that it is a table if you like e. Your subsequent appendices can then just be "Appendix B," "Appendix C," etc. I have to have an APA 7 appendix in my professional paper that will just consist of two pictures.
How should I do this? I have never done a paper with an appendix so I am very lost on how to even start with this. Thank you! You would do this by first giving the appendix the title "Appendix" assuming it's the only appendix you're including and an appropriate descriptive title i. Then you can label the two images separately, "Figure A1" and "Figure A2", and also give each of them a descriptive title that explains what the image is.
Depending on the size of the images, you could put them both on one page or on separate pages. Just wondering how you format the Table of Contents to have the Appendix letter and title in the same line even though the label "Appendix A" and the title are formatted on two separate lines in the paper?
If you're auto-generating your table of contents in Word, you'll have to manually edit the titles in the table of contents to add the title after the appendix letter.
Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a way to do this automatically, but adding the titles manually shouldn't cause any problems. You don't have to have multiple appendices with different letters at all; it's perfectly fine to just have one, and simply call it "Appendix.
However, in the article it says that "[i]f an appendix consists entirely of a single table or figure, simply use the appendix label to refer to the table or figure". So, how should those single tables in an appendix be refered to in the List of Tables? Would it be the only table in the List of Tables refered to as Appendix 3 and the others Table 1, 2, The APA manual only discusses appendices, not annexes.
The generally accepted difference between appendices and annexes not covered specifically in APA is that an appendix is added to the paper itself and referred to in the text, whereas an annex is more of a separate document. Your other question is a bit tricky. APA doesn't actually require, or provide guidelines for, lists of tables and figures; they're just something we cover because students are sometimes asked to include them.
So there's no specific guidance I'm aware of on this issue. My feeling would be that a table which constituted an entire appendix would simply be omitted from the list, but that's something of a guess, I'm afraid! I would like to make a separate appendix for "Additional Items" and would like to use subheadings so the reader can differentiate between those items more easily.
But I do not really know how subheadings are labelled in the appendices. Do you just write A. So the simplest approach would be to just give each subheading a descriptive title without any particular number. You could also use A1, A2, etc. APA doesn't list any specific rules for this, so it's your own choice.
Hi, I have only one appendix Appendix with text and a table. How should I call this table? Should I then just call it "Table 1"? I am creating an academic portfolio. My narrative pages explain the information supported by documentation in my appendices. In some paragraphs, I am mentioning artifacts that are found in more than one appendix. What is the correct way to notate that in the narrative pages? Generally, when referring to your appendices, it's best to make it clear where a certain element can be found the first time you mention it, and then subsequently just refer to it without specifying again where it is.
For example, if your appendix featured transcripts of interviews which you quote from in the text, you would refer to the appendix only the first time you quote from it, and not repeat this information for each quotation. If you mean that you are referring to a piece of information that can be found in multiple appendices, my question would be why you have repeated this element in multiple places.
Is it necessary to do so? If for some reason it is necessary, then you could write something like " see Appendices A and B " to refer to it. I have written code in R for my data analysis, should the code be included in the appendix? I do not refer to an appendix for anything else, so the appendix would only include the R- code. I can't really advise you specifically on whether that should be in your appendix. Anything that you refer to in your text and that would add relevant additional information for your readers may be included in an appendix, but it's best to consult with your supervisor if you're not sure about including something.
It's certainly no problem for your appendix to only include one thing; there's no minimum to what you can include in an appendix. If I have multiple data tables and am using the same Appendix and then labeling as B1, B2, B3- does each table get its own page?
This is for APA 7th. I can't find anywhere where APA specifies this, but their rule for tables that are not embedded in the text is to place them on separate pages, so I think it's safe to assume the same standard would apply if the tables are collected in an appendix. I suggest placing each one on its own page.
I'm creating an appendix that includes results from two surveys that were conducted and the email sent to respondents for the survey. Do they each need to be in a separate appendix, or just one. You could either have them all in one appendix, with subheadings, or in separate appendices. Using separate appendices seems like the more straightforward option in this case, to me.
Give each appendix a letter A, B, C Appendix A. Results from the First Survey. If my appendix is a formal letter with a letterhead in PDF format, how do I label and include it in the thesis?
Should I attach a preview in image format, or the pages itself? If only the text of the letter is important, you could just include that as an appendix. If its presentation, including the letterhead, is important to retain, it may be best to embed it as an image. An appendix may consist entirely of an image, in which case the image doesn't need a specific figure label and title; the appendix title serves that purpose.
