If a table is large and covers over a page, including “table continues” and repeating the column headings on the next page can help readers follow the material. If your professor or committee recommends differently, I would defer to your professor or committee.<br /><br />You can also contact the Walden editor team for guidance on data displays for capstone work such as doctoral dissertations and studies: editor@waldenu.edu.

If you are not including the data displays in the paper but in an appendix, then the appendix would be cited (for example, “Appendix A”). Data displays would not be included in the reference list. Our website provides additional examples for labeling and formatting tables and figures: http://bit.ly/2wHH7Il.

How do I cite the graph in the text? What is the APA recommendations for citing the display in my references? The APA examples given in this helpful hint appears to focus on tables instead of charts.

However, font size in tables can be adjusted to meet university or publisher requirements/preferences. For students, it is best to ask your instructor or chair or whoever the final audience is for the document to see what font sizes are appropriate.
