To correctly format an APA table, follow these rules:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"kb-checklist\">\n<li>Table number in bold above the table.<\/li>\n<li>Brief title, in italics and title case, below the table number.<\/li>\n<li>No vertical lines.<\/li>\n<li>Horizontal lines only where necessary for clarity.<\/li>\n<li>Clear, concise labels for column and row headings.<\/li>\n<li>Numbers consistently formatted (e.g. with the same number of decimal places).<\/li>\n<li>Any relevant notes below the table.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>An example of a table formatted according to APA guidelines is shown below.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=index-4966.html alt=\"Example of a table in APA format\" width=\"660\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-306507 mt-4 mb-5\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The table above uses only four lines: Those at the top and bottom, and those separating the main data from the column heads and the totals.<\/p>\n<p>Create your tables using the tools built into your word processor. In Word, you can use the \u201c<a href=index-4967.html#step-2create-your-table\">Insert table<\/a>\u201d tool.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"figure-format\">APA figure format<\/h2>\n<p>Any images used within your text are called figures. Figures include data visualization graphics\u2014e.g. graphs, diagrams, flowcharts\u2014as well as things like photographs and artworks.<\/p>\n<p>To correctly format an APA figure, follow these rules:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"kb-checklist\">\n<li>Figure number in bold above the figure.<\/li>\n<li>Brief title, in italics and title case, under the figure number.<\/li>\n<li>If necessary, clear labels and legends integrated into the image.<\/li>\n<li>Any relevant notes below the figure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>An example of a figure formatted according to APA guidelines is shown below.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=index-4968.html alt=\"Example of a figure in APA format\" width=\"660\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-306520 mt-4 mb-5\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Keep the design of figures as simple as possible. Use colors only where necessary, not just to make the image look more appealing.<\/p>\n<p>For text within the image itself, APA recommends using a sans serif font (e.g. Arial) with a size between 8 and 14 points.<\/p>\n<p>For other figures, such as photographs, you won\u2019t need a legend; the figure consists simply of the image itself, reproduced at an appropriate size and resolution.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"numbering-titling\">Numbering and titling tables and figures<\/h2>\n<p>Each table or figure is preceded by a number and title.<\/p>\n<p>Tables and figures are each numbered separately, in the order they are referred to in your text. For example, the first table you refer to is Table 1; the fourth figure you refer to is Figure 4.<\/p>\n<p>The title should clearly and straightforwardly describe the content of the table or figure. Omit articles to keep it concise.<\/p>\n<p>The table or figure number appears on its own line, in bold, followed by the title on the following line, in italics and title case.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"kb-textbox border-left purple\"><figcaption>Number and title<\/figcaption><strong>Table 4<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Literacy Rates in European Countries<\/em><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"notes\">Formatting table and figure notes<\/h2>\n<p>Where a table or figure needs further explanation, notes should be included immediately after it. These are not your analysis of the data presented; save that for the main text.<\/p>\n<p>There are three kinds of notes: <strong>general<\/strong>, <strong>specific<\/strong>, and <strong>probability<\/strong>. Each type of note appears in a new paragraph, but multiple notes of the same kind all appear in one paragraph.<\/p>\n<p>Only include the notes that are needed to understand the table or figure. It may be that it is clear in itself, and has no notes, or only probability notes; be as concise as possible.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"general-notes\">General notes<\/h3>\n<p>General notes come first. They are preceded by the word \u201c<em>Note<\/em>\u201d in italics, followed by a period. They include any explanations that apply to the table or figure as a whole and a <a href=index-4969.html>citation<\/a> if it was adapted from another source, and they end with definitions of any abbreviations used.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"kb-textbox border-left blue\"><figcaption>General note<\/figcaption><em>Note<\/em>.

Superscript letters (a, b, c \u2026) appear at the relevant points in the table or figure and at the start of each note to indicate what they refer to. They are used when it\u2019s necessary to comment on a specific data point or term.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"kb-textbox border-left green\"><figcaption>Specific notes<\/figcaption><sup>a <\/sup><em>n<\/em> = 350. <sup>b <\/sup>Five respondents failed to complete this part of the survey.<\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"probability-notes\">Probability notes<\/h3>\n<p>Probability notes give <a href=index-3032.html><em>p<\/em>-values <\/a>for the data in the table or figure.

If you refer to the same table or figure more than once, don\u2019t reproduce it each time\u2014just place it after the paragraph in which it\u2019s first discussed.<\/p>\n<p>Align the table or figure with the text along the left margin. Leave a line break before and after the table or figure to clearly distinguish it from the main text, and place it on a new page if necessary to avoid splitting it across multiple pages.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=index-4970.html alt=\"Placement of tables in APA format\" width=\"660\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-306533 mt-4 mb-5\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/apa-table-positioning.png 595w, https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/apa-table-positioning-300x275.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you place all your tables and figures at the end, you should have one table or figure on each page.

When you write about data from tables and figures, it should be to highlight or analyze a particular data point or trend, not simply to restate what is already clearly shown in the table or figure:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"kb-checklist\">\n<li class=\"error\">As Table 1 shows, there are 115 boys in Grade 4, 130 in Grade 5, and 117 in Grade 6 \u2026<\/li>\n<li>Table 1 indicates a notable preponderance of boys in Grade 5.

This is often the case when you need to communicate a large amount of information.<\/p>\n<p>Before including a table or figure in your text, always reflect on whether it\u2019s useful to your readers&#8217; understanding:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Could this information be quickly summarized in the text instead?<\/li>\n<li>Is it important to your arguments?<\/li>\n<li>Does the table or figure require too much explanation to be efficient?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the data you need to present only contains a few relevant numbers, try summarizing it in the text (potentially including full data in an <a href=index-3273.html>appendix<\/a>).
