Adding an Appendix in MLA Style (9th Edition)

Keywords: MLA appendix, MLA format appendix, MLA appendix citation

General Guidelines:

  • Title: In MLA style, appendices are labeled as “Appendix” followed by a letter (Appendix A, Appendix B, etc.) if there is more than one appendix. The title of the appendix should be centered and written in standard font (not bold).

  • Content: Include raw data, tables, or detailed material that is referenced in the paper. Each appendix should be clear and organized.

  • Page Numbers: Continue page numbering from the main text.

  • Spacing and Formatting: The content in the appendix should be double-spaced, as per MLA formatting.

  • Referencing in Text: Refer to the appendix in the body of your paper (e.g., “See Appendix A for the survey results”).
