Like the appendix in the human body, the appendix contains additional information and is not strictly necessary to the main body of the article. An appendix may include a reference for the reader, a summary of the raw data, or additional details on the methodology used for the study. If you need to write an addendum to an essay or decide to write an addendum for a personal project, start by gathering the content for the appendix and proper formatting. Then, you need to complete the appendix so that it is easy to find, useful and attractive to readers.
Steps
Gather information for the appendix
- Raw data can be sample calculations that you refer to in the body of the article as well as specific data that expands on the information you discuss in the article. Raw statistical data should also be included in the appendix.
- You should also include relevant facts from other sources to help support the information you find in the article. Make sure you cite information from other sources appropriately.
- You can use charts or graphs you draw yourself or from another source. Make sure you cite visual materials from other sources appropriately in the appendix.
- For example, you might note in the addendum: “All interviews and surveys were conducted live in a private place and recorded with a tape recorder.”
- You should also include any existing correspondence on the research topic, such as copies of emails, correspondence, or handwritten notes sent to or sent on the research topic.
Appendix format
- If there is more than one appendix, you need to order it alphabetically or numerically and be consistent in the sequence. For example, if you are using letters, the title of the appendix should be “Appendix A”, “Appendix B”, etc. If you are using numbers, the title of the appendix should be “Appendix 1”, ““ Appendix 2”, etc
- If there is more than one addendum, make sure that each one starts a new page. This will help the reader know when an addendum ends and a new one begins.
- For example, if raw data is mentioned in the first line of the article, write the raw data section first in the appendix. Or, if you mention interview questions at the end of the essay, write the interview questions at the end of the appendix.
- You also need to list the appendix in the table of contents if any. You can list based on title, such as “Appendix”, or “Appendix A”, if there is more than one addendum.
- For example, if the body of the text has 17 pages, continue numbering from page 17 when numbering the appendix.
Complete appendix
- It helps to have someone else read through the appendix, such as a friend or instructor. Ask them if they feel all the information is relevant to the essay and if they need to omit information that seems unnecessary.
- Read the appendix carefully to make sure there are no typos. You need to write the appendix as professionally as possible.
- For example, you could add an addendum to your essay: “My research has yielded the same results in both cases (see raw data in the Appendix)” or “I feel my research was convincing (see interview notes in Appendix A).”
