Appendices I, II and III valid from 11 January 2023 Interpretation

Research instruments -- if you used a camera, or a recorder, or some other device to gather information and it is important for the reader to understand how, when, and/or where that device was used.

Sample calculations – this can include quantitative research formulas or detailed descriptions of how calculations were used to determine relationships and significance.

NOTE: Appendices should not be a dumping ground for information. Do not include vague or irrelevant information in an appendix; this additional information will not help the reader’s overall understanding and interpretation of your research and may only distract the reader from understanding the significance of your overall study.
ANOTHER NOTE: Appendices are intended to provide supplementary information that you have gathered or created; it is not intended to replicate or provide a copy of the work of others. For example, if you need to contrast the techniques of analysis used by other authors with your own method of analysis, summarize that information, and cite to the original work. In this case, a citation to the original work is sufficient enough to lead the reader to where you got the information. You do not need to provide a copy of this in an appendix.
III. Format
Here are some general guideline on how to format appendices. If needed, consult the writing style guide [e.g., APA, MLS, Chicago] your professor wants you to use for more detail:

• 
  Appendices may precede or follow your list of references.
  
• 
  Each appendix begins on a new page.
  
• 
  The order they are presented is dictated by the order they are mentioned in the text of your research paper.
  
• 
  The heading should be "Appendix," followed by a letter or number [e.g., "Appendix A" or "Appendix 1"], centered and written in bold type.
  
• 
  If there is a table of contents, the appendices must be listed.
  
• 
  The page number(s) of the appendix/appendices will continue on with the numbering from the last page of the text.
