introduction
Tables and Figures (pictures, statistics, graphs etc.) in your assignments are labeled Tables or Figures.
Tables of information/data are labeled Tables. Generally, tables are displayed in rows and columns.
All other images are labelled Figures; such as, photographs, graphs, drawings.
Both must be cited in your assignment and included in your References. Each figure and table should include a Note. The Note identifies the source of the image along with any description.
If you include a figure or table in your assignment, you should directly refer to the figure/table in your assignment. See examples.
in text citation images
APA details very specific ways to present tables and figures. This is a deconstructed example, followed by two other examples.
image examples
Example 1
In the example below, note the reference to the image is made and then on the very next line the image appears. The Note appears below the image.
Example 2
Example 2
At times, your reference to a table/figure in your assignment may appear at the bottom of a page. This will not leave enough room for the table/figure to appear immediately after. In this case, include your table/figure on the very next page after your reference to the table/figure. Always start a page with a line of text and then include your table/figure. See Example 2, below.
