All tables included in a paper should be necessary for understanding the data. Tables should be simple, clean, and free of elaborate detail. Always double-check to make sure the data are correct. Tables are included within a paper after any appendices and before any figures. Each table should be typed on a separate page.
All tables are double-spaced.
Table pages, just as every other page in a manuscript, should have the short title and page number in the upper right-hand corner. The data are listed in an orderly fashion with the decimal points falling in a straight vertical line. All tables include a caption which is located directly below the table label and is capitalized just as a title would be, underlined, and is not followed by a period. A complete table, just as it should appear in a written manuscript, can be seen on the following page. For further information, refer to the Publication Manual of the APA .
