Creating figures and tables

in APA 6th: the basics

Why use figures and tables in your

assignments.

Figures and tables are generally used to

communicate detailed and complex information in research manuscripts. They usually present the original work in visual forms; the reader can readily extract meaningful and relevant information.

The material in figures and tables should:

o be specifically relevant to the thesis o be easily understood o be introduced, explained and explored in the body of the paper o provide new and essential information to understanding the paper o be presented according to APA 6th guidelines (or according to the style guidelines of the publication it is intended for)

What is a figure

A figure communicates information in visual form.

Figures can include graphs, maps, charts,

illustrations, and photographs. They can also be representations of theories, and sampling compositions in studies.

How to present a figure

Consider the following aspects when presenting

figures in APA 6th style:

It is numbered according to APA (Figure 1.)

The title is concise and explanatory

The display is clear, concise, and consistent

The contents are clearly labelled within the

display

An explanation of the contents is provided

below the display and includes any acknowledgements in APA style for figures.

When to include a figure

Consider the following factors before

including a figure:

Figures add substantive information that

would not be easily communicated effectively in text.

Figures communicate essential information

in concise visual format.

Figures are not used as decorative

accompaniments to information already provided in the text.

Including a figure rather than a table is

based on which format is most communicatively effective and appropriate.

What type of figure best communicates the

information: graph, map, chart, etcetera?

What is a table

A table contains data organised into more accessible forms than text. Tables make the communication of large quantities of quantitative and/or complex data more accessible. Tables communicate raw data in clear and meaningful ways; relationships between data is easily recognised.

How to present a table

The basic components of a standard table in APA 6

style include: table number (Table 1.), table title (concise and informative), labelled columns and rows, content data, and a table note placed below the table.

Non standard forms of tables may communicate some

types of data more effectively; these require careful labelling for communicative clarity.

When to include a table

Tables organise large quantities of data so that

comparisons can be made between categories of data.

The data validates the points being made and the

conclusions being drawn. Tables that are not directly relevant to the line of argument or hypotheses can be placed in the appendices or online supplemental archive.
