Elements of Some APA Papers
2

• Besides the main parts of APA papers there are
  some other elements that are not always used.
  They are sometimes called Mechanical elements of
  reports and aim to provide better access and
  representation of the content.
• The elements do not only give your papers
  professional appearance but allow the readers to
  have the better picture of the subject. The post
  reviews these elements and describes how they can
  help you to make your paper better.

Tables of Contents

• This element is included in most books and
  provides the guidance to the content of the work
  to the readers. Table of contents shows all
  sections in the work preliminary pages and main
  content (headings and subheadings).
• The list is constructed in order of how the
  elements are given in APA paper.

• Additionally table of contents gives the readers
  information about the page numbers so it would be
  easier to find needed section.
• According to the APA formatting of table of
  contents, roman numerals are ought to be used for
  acknowledgements, letter of transmittal and other
  preliminary pages (i, ii, iii, iv and so on).

• For the pages that contain the main information
  of the report the writers should use Arabic
  figures 1, 2, 3 and so on. The first page where
  Arabic numerals begin is the introduction of the
  report.

Lists of Tables and Figures

• If APA report contains small number of figures
  and tables, the writers can include them in the
  table of contents. Their titles must be given in
  full length. In case when such content is
  combined together in the work, it is recommended
  to identify it in separate manner.
• However, in cases when APA report contains many
  tables and figures, they should be described on
  separate pages along with their full titles.

• Otherwise, they will be bored to look at too much
  information or a table that stretches for three
  pages. There are many types of illustrations in
  APA papers.
• They include schematics, flow charts, line
  graphs, pie graphs and bar graphs.
• They are used to represent percentages,
  absolutes, stages in process, charts and other
  graphic elements.

Graphic Information

• These are elements such as figures and tables
  which help to provide visual insight for the
  readers. Writers often include the elements
  because they make the usage and understanding of
  the paper much easier.
• Graphics should have accurate descriptions to
  them in order for readers to understand. The
  tables should have identifying information above
  them and details about the figures are typed
  below them.

• The text in APA papers should contain pages and
  numbers. These details identify the relation of
  graphic element to the sections of the content
  (3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and so on.).
• The numbers indicate the order of listing. APA
  style recommends not making tables too long and
  dividing them in order for better appealing. Such
  representation will encourage the audience to
  review the element.
