Q. How do I make a table of contents or appendix following APA or MLA rules?

Neither APA nor MLA include formal rules for creating a table of contents or an appendix, but both provide stylistic rules that apply to a paper as a whole.

If you are asked to create either an appendix or table of contents for your assignment, here are some suggestions and examples:

• Guidelines for appendices in APA and MLA (Seneca Libraries - see Sample Papers with Appendix)
• Sample APA paper with Appendix (OWL Purdue) or MLA Appendix examples (MLA Style Center)
• Brief mention of table of contents for reports (OWL Purdue) or see suggestions specifically for MLA (MLA Style Center)
