Basic Formatting Guidelines & Sample Table Format (APA 7th Edition)
Table Format
APA table format
Tables will vary in size and structure depending on the data you’re presenting, but APA
gives some general guidelines for their design. To correctly format an APA table, follow
these rules:
Table number in bold above the table.
Brief title, in italics and title case, below the table number.
No vertical lines.
Horizontal lines only where necessary for clarity.
Clear, concise labels for column and row headings.
Numbers consistently formatted (e.g. with the same number of decimal places).
Any relevant notes below the table.
An example of a table formatted according to APA guidelines is shown below.
The table above uses only four lines: Those at the top and bottom, and those separating the main
data from the column heads and the totals.
Figure Format
APA figure format
Any images used within your text are called figures. Figures include data visualization
graphics—e.g. graphs, diagrams, flowcharts—as well as things like photographs and
artworks.
To correctly format an APA figure, follow these rules:
Figure number in bold above the figure.
Brief title, in italics and title case, under the figure number.
If necessary, clear labels and legends integrated into the image.
Any relevant notes below the figure.
An example of a figure formatted according to APA guidelines is shown below.
