Appendix is the word for the singular, and appendices is plural. This is supplementary work you have conducted to complete your assessment. It offers the reader more context to the information you have outlined in your assessment. If the reader would like clarification regarding this extra information, it is available for them, but does not make up part of the main body of the assessment. All appendices come after your reference list.
For example, your contents page could look like this…
Introduction.………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..2
Methods ………………….…………………………………………………………………………………………….…….4
Results………….………………………………………………………………………………………………………………7
Discussion……………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………9
Conclusions………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….12
References………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………….13
Appendix 1 Raw data…………………………………………………….…………………………………………...17
Appendix 2 Interview transcriptions…………………….…………………………………………………...18
Within your assessment, you can refer to each appendix by outlining the content; this can be either using numbers or letters. For example:
The raw data (appendix 1) shows the information gathered from the participants in the research project.
Always start each appendix on a new page. In addition to the appendix number or letter, a title needs to be written on the appendix page to make it easier for the reader to digest the information.
