Appendices in Reports in APA Style - An Appendix is appropriate for materials that are relatively brief such as tables or graphs and allows you to include detailed information in your paper that would be distracting in the main body of the paper. - If your report only has one Appendix, label it Appendix; if you are going to include more than one, then they become Appendix A, Appendix B and so on - labeled in the order that you mention them in your report. - Example of referring to an Appendices in-text: …produced the same results for both studies (see Appendices A and B for complete results). - Begin each Appendix on a separate page. Centre the Word Appendix and it's identifying letter at the top of the page. - Each Appendix should also have a title: For example, 2010 Student Survey Results. This is at the top of the page, centered, underneath the Appendix label. - The Appendix comes after your Reference list at the end of your report.
