Library Guides: APA 6th referencing style: Tables

Referencing tables

Each table needs to be numbered in the order in which they appear in the document eg. Table 1, Table 2.
Always refer to a table by their number. Statements such as “in the table below” or "the table shown on page 78” should not be used.
If a table is being reproduced for inclusion in a work which is being published, you must seek permission from the copyright holder. This permission must also be included in the table note (caption).
Provide each table with a brief but explanatory title. This should appear below the table number.
A table note (caption) should be included the bottom of the table to acknowledge that the table has been reproduced from another source. The word “Note” is included at the start in italics.
Include the full reference in the reference list.
Some examples of tables can be found here.
