APA-Sample Table

SAMPLE TABLE

Refer to Manual pages 147-176 to learn how to show basic elements of a table and how to present data in specific kinds of tables. However, be aware that the spacing for tables and the placement of table titles illustrated in these pages are for the copy manuscript style. In a final manuscript approach (a)  the table is centered on the page; (b) the title is centered above the table; (c) tables are numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text and are identified by the word "Table" and an arabic numeral; and (d) single-spacing is used for the title, headings, text, and notes. Double-spacing may be used in a table at the discretion of the writer to improve readability.
