Appendices
This is an optional section.
An appendix (or appendices, if you have more than one), are used to include additional material that is not integral to the body of the disquisition.
- Citations – If you use or reference material that is not your own, use scholarly citation practices that are consistent with the rest of the disquisition and with the style manual of your discipline. For more information, see References/Works Cited and Style manuals.
- Font and Margins – The font must be the same size and type as the rest of your disquisition. The margins must also be the same size as the rest of your disquisition.
- Headings – Heading styles and formatting must be consistent with the rest of the disquisition.
- Multiple appendices – If you have more than one appendix, each appendix must use a different letter in the title (such as Appendix A, Appendix B, and so on). If each appendix contains only one type of item, such as Research Compliance forms, then you may include that information in the major heading for that appendix. For example, “APPENDIX A. RESEARCH COMPLIANCE FORMS”. For more information about appendices, refer to the style guide of your discipline.
- Page numbers – Page numbers must be consistent with the rest of the disquisition. This is considered part of the body of your disquisition, and must use Arabic numbers (1, 2, 3, and so on).
- Spacing – The line spacing and indentation of paragraphs must be consistent with the rest of the disquisition.
- Tables, Figures, Schemes, and non-text items – If you include tables, figures, schemes, or other non-text items in an appendix, then you must include a List of Appendix Tables, Figures, Schemes, etc. in the prefatory material. For more information, see Tables, Figures, Schemes, etc. When you number non-text items in appendices, make sure to include the letter of the appendix. For example, the first table in the second appendix would be entitled “Table B1”. If you use only one appendix, all non-text items must include the letter “A” in the number (for example, “Figure A1”).
Non-text items that appear in an appendix must include the letter “A” in the number, or, if you have multiple appendices, use the letter of the appendix. For example, the first table in the first (or only) appendix would be entitled “Table A1”. The first table in the second appendix would be entitled “Table B1”, and so on. For more information about numbering non-text items in appendices, see List of Appendix Tables, Figures, Schemes, Etc..
