Library Guides: APA 7th 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.
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.
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). The word “Note” is included at the start in italics.
"Note" is used in place of in-text reference.
Include the full reference in the reference list.
Check out some table examples.

If the table has been reprinted, include "Reprinted with permission" after copyright statement.
If the table has been adapted, include "Adapted with permission" after copyright statement.
