    This document provides guidelines for presenting data in APA style tables and figures. It discusses that tables should condense and present complex numerical data and not be used if the information can be clearly presented narratively or as simple lists. An example table is provided that shows mean numbers of correct responses for children with and without pre-training. Common statistical symbols used in APA style are also defined. Formatting guidelines are outlined for table numbers, titles, headings, notes, and figures. Figures should be simple, clear illustrations not considered tables.

    Presenting Data in APA Style Tables

    Tables condense and present complex statistical and numerical data. Tables should not be used if the
    information can be presented clearly in narrative form or by using simple lists.

    Tables
    Tables can present both quantitative data and words. The recommended format for tables is:

    Table 1
    Mean Numbers of Correct Responses by Children With and
    Without Pre-training (N = 20)
    Grade level
    a
    Group n 3 6
    Girls
    With 20(18) 280* 319
    Without 20(19) 240** 263
    Boys
    With 20(19) 281 317
    Without 20(20) 232 262
    Note. Maximum score = 320, *p<0.05, **p<0.01
    a
    Numbers in parenthesis indicate the number of children who completed
    all tests.

    Common Statistical Symbols:


    ANCOVA Analysis of Covariance R2 Squared multiple correlation
    ANOVA Analysis of Variance SD Standard deviation
    d Cohens measure for effect size SE Standard error
    d Measure for sensoric sensitiveness SS Sum of squares
    f Frequency t t-test value
    H Kruskal-Wallis T Wilcoxon test value
    H0 Null hypothesis T2 Hotellings test value
    HSD Tukeys significant difference U Mann-Whitney test value
    LSD Fishers least significant difference W Kendalls coefficient of concordance
    MANOVA Multivariate analysis of variance x Horizontal axis
    mle Maximum likelihood estimation y Vertical axis
    MS Mean square z Standard score
    MSE Mean square error Goodman-Kruskals index
    n Number in subsample Change
    N Total number in sample Roys multivariate criterion
    ns Non-significant Goodman-Kruskals predictability
    p Chance value Wilks multivariate criterion
    P Percentage, percentile Rho correlation coefficient
    pr Partial correlation Sum
    r Product-moment coefficient Kendalls rank correlation
    rs Spearmans rank correlation 2 Chi square test value
    R Multiple correlation

    NOTE:
    Table number should be in Arabic numerals, flush left, not italicized.
    Tables should be numbered in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text.

    1
    Table title under the table number and above the table, flush left, italicized, upper and lower case.
    Titles should be brief and clear.
    Heading of columns have capital for first letter of first word only.
    Use horizontal rule lines only. Do not use vertical lines.
    General notes to a table are indicated under the table in a smaller point size italicized as Note.
    Specific notes are indicated by superscript lowercase letters.
    Extremely detailed tables should be presented in an appendix.
    Proper APA statistical abbreviation and symbols should be used.

    Figures
    In APA style any type of illustration that is not a table (graphs, charts, drawings, maps and photographs) is
    called a figure. Good figures should be simple and clear.

    Recommend graph and figures are as follows:

    NOTE:
    Figure numbers are in Arabic numerals, flush left, italicized, below the figure.
    Figure title in sentence format follows the figure number on the same line. Capitalize only the first word
    and any proper nouns.
    Axis labels use capitalization of important words and a san serif typeface (e.g., Arial, Helvetica).
    Vertical axis labels use vertically aligned text.
    Legends are contained within the borders of the graph.
    The zero point is placed on the ordinate (y) axis.
    Lines and points should be clear and sharp.
