An appendix can be added at the end of an essay to present supplemental information that will aid the reader in understanding the material presented.

Step 1: Organize supplementary information
Organize supplementary information for your essay, like detailed mathematical proofs, raw data, formulas, questionnaires used in research, diagrams, maps, pictures, and detailed descriptions of apparatuses used.

Step 2: Give it a title
Title the appendix. If there is only one appendix, simply title it Appendix. For multiple appendices, title them as Appendix A, B, C, and so on.

Tip
Organize different types of information into separate appendices.

Step 3: Separate them
Place each appendix on its own page.

Step 4: Insert the appendix
Insert the appendices after the references page of the essay.

Step 5: Format
Format the appendices in APA style: typed, double spaced, and in 12 point font. Set the margins to 1 inch. Include the page numbers on the right and title of the essay on the left. Now your essay is ready to impress your audience with your original research!
