How to Cite Tables in APA Format

APA formatting follows style guidelines delineated by The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (2009), most commonly utilized by publications and academic research papers within the social sciences. In accordance with APA style, protocol tables are numbered and referred to by their numbers when referenced within document text.

Instructions

    • 1

      Reference the applicable table by its number, for example, "as indicated in Table 8.1," rather than its location on a specific page or in reference to the text.

    • 2

      Briefly describe general highlights when referring to the table. When details are fully outlined within the text, the table is not necessary.

    • 3

      Cite the external source after referencing a table in the text utilizing an author-date citation system if it originates from an outside source. The outside source should then be included in the reference list at the end of the document following standard APA protocol.

    • 4

      Copy the original format of a table when replicating it from an outside source. Credit the original table's source in-text utilizing an author-date citation system. Include the source in the reference list following standard APA protocol.
