Tables and Figures
Tables and Figures should be used, according to the APA style (2010), when they allow the author to present a larger quantity of information to the reader, in a more efficient and more easily understood manner than in text, as long as it does not replicate the information already included in the text. Therefore, any information that is not in textual form should be in the form of a TABLE or FIGURE (that is, terms such as graphic, map, fluxogram, design, photograph, etc. should not be used).
According to the APA style (2010), tables normally “show numerical values or textual information (e.g., lists of stimulus words) arranged in an orderly display of columns and rows. A figure may be a chart, a graph, a photograph, a drawing, or any other illustration or nontextual depiction” (APA, 2010, p. 125). Tables are usually characterized by a line-column structure; thus, other types of illustrations, which differ from this characteristic, should be labeled figures.
Tables
Tables should be inserted in the body of the text, soon after their reference or citation. For the sake of word count (paper size), please consider a half-page table as representing 300 words.

Title
Table titles should be brief, clear and explanatory. They should be placed above the table, in the upper left corner, and just below the word Table (with the first letter upper case), accompanied by a designated number. The tables should be presented with sequential Arabic numbers within the text, such as: Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, etc.
Citation
To cite tables in the text body, simply write the number referring to the table, for example: Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, etc. Never write ‘table below’, ‘table above’, or ‘table on page XX’, because the numeration of the article pages might be altered during formatting for publication.
Table notes
Tables can have three kinds of notes: general notes, specific notes, and probability notes. The notes are presented in the left margin (without indentation) below the table (between the table and the note there should be two spaces). They should be ordered in the following sequence: general notes, specific notes, and probability notes. Each type of note should be presented in a new line. “Notes are used to eliminate repetition within the body of the table” (APA, 2010, p. 138).
General note: “A general note qualifies, explains, or provides information relating to the table as a whole and ends with an explanation of any abbreviations, symbols, and the like” (APA, 2010, p. 138). It is designated by the word Note and should be used to supply other sources of data that have been reproduced in the Table, or if the entire Table was a reproduction from another source. See example in Table 1.
Figures
In accordance with the APA style (2010), Figures can be:
a chart, a graph, a photograph, a drawing, or any other illustration or nontextual depiction. At times the boundary between tables and figures may be unclear; however, tables are almost always characterized by a row-column structure. Any type of illustration that a table is referred to as a figure (APA, 2010, p. 125).
