How are appendixes organized in a research paper?
If you have more than one appendix, these should be organized so that the first appendix mentioned in your paper is labeled Appendix A, the second one mentioned in your paper is labeled Appendix B, and so on.
Can a table be placed in an appendix?
If you feel that any tables, graphs, or images are too bulky or too distracting for the body of your paper, you can place these in an appendix. The following formatting standards can be used for both APA and MLA: An appendix must be labeled as Appendix. This should be centered on the page and in bold font.
Why do you need a table, chart, and appendices?
Tables, Images, & Appendices For some papers and reports, you may choose to add a table, graph, chart, or image within the body of the draft. Or you may choose to include an appendix at the end of your paper. These can help to provide a visual representation of data or other information that you wish to relay to your reader.
When to put a graph in an appendix?

If you feel that any tables, graphs, or images are too bulky or too distracting for the body of your paper, you can place these in an appendix.
Why are the appendix headings separate from the TOC?
Adding the appendix headings to the main TOC wasn’t an option because the main TOC has page numbers and you can’t tell some parts of the TOC to not have page numbers—you either have them for everything or for nothing, not for some and not others. So these appendix headings needed to go into a separate updateable and clickable list.
Do you put a separate list of appendices in front matter?
Many years ago, I’d added a separate list of appendices in the front matter containing the table of contents (TOC), list of figures, list of tables etc. I’d forgotten how to do it, because these days almost every document I work on incorporates the appendix headings into the main TOC.
How do you insert an appendix into a table of figures?
Make sure you know the name of the style you use for the appendix headings. Go to the References tab > Captions group. Click Insert Table of Figures. On the Table of Figures dialog box, click Options. Select the style you use for the appendix headings from the styles list.
