How to review appendices
Appendices contain supplementary material that remains part of the document. First review their position after the references, then check the starting page, label, title, mentions in the text, and sequence when there is more than one.
Do not add an appendix merely to resolve an observation. The material should support the paper without interrupting the main explanation.
Read APA appendices for examples and full presentation rules.
