How to use an Appendix in APA format 6th edition: Appendix format, label and titling

Using and formatting an appendix properly will help you get the highest mark you can on your essay. Watch this video for helpful tips and must-know information.

Appendixes need to be referred to in the paper. They are referred to by their label.
When there is only one appendix you just label it Appendix (no A needed).
When there are more than one you label it with a capital letter. Use the letters A, B, C and so on in the order they appear in your paper.
They go after the reference list
Each Appendix must have a title.
They must be ordered in the same order that they are mentioned in the text.
Each Appendix begins on a separate page.
Center the label of the Appendix at the top of each page.
Center the title of the Appendix. Use uppercase and lowercase letters in the title.
Appendices may have headings and subheadings just like the body of the paper.
Usually tables will have their own appendix. In this case you can use the label of the appendix as the label of the table. For more details about variations on how to present different types of information in an Appendix please refer to the APA textbook.
Most teachers will not mark the appendix unless specified in the assignment instructions. Use an appendix for brief information that supports your narrative but is not essential for grading.
