and a descriptive title. You may give the numbers in either arabic numerals (1, 2) or spelledout (One, Two), or you may use single letters of the alphabet in sequential order (A, B). Putthe number or letter following the word Appendix, and place the descriptive title on the nextline. (If your paper has only one appendix, you may also give it a descriptive title, but do notgive it a number or letter.)If the appendix consists of your own explanatory text, double-space it and format it tomatch the main text. If it consists of a primary document or a case study, you may choose tosingle-space the text, especially if it is long.Treat supporting material that cannot be presented in print form, such as a large data set ora multimedia file, as an appendix. Include a brief description of the material and its location,including a hyperlink (if relevant). Consult your local guidelines for specific format andpresentation requirements; see also A.3.1.GLOSSARY. If your thesis or dissertation (or, in some cases, your class paper) needs aglossary (see A.2.1), you may include it in either the front or back matter, where it followsany appendixes and precedes endnotes and bibliography or reference list. All of the specialformat requirements described in A.2.1 apply, except that the back-matter glossary pagesshould be numbered with arabic instead of roman numerals. Figure A.8 shows a sampleglossary (formatted to appear in front matter).ENDNOTES. If you are using bibliography-style citations, you may include notes in the backmatter as endnotes (see 16.3.4 for formatting endnotes). Label the first page of this elementNotes at the top of the page. Do not repeat the title on subsequent pages of the endnotessection. Leave two blank lines between the title and the first note, and one blank line betweennotes. Figure A.14 shows a sample page of endnotes for a paper divided into chapters.If you are using reference list–style citations, you will not have endnotes.BIBLIOGRAPHY OR REFERENCE LIST. If you are using bibliography-style citations, you willprobably include a bibliography in the back matter. Label the first page of this elementBibliography at the top of the page. Do not repeat the title on subsequent pages of thebibliography. Leave two blank lines between the title and the first item listed, and one blankline between items. Figure A.15 shows a sample page of a bibliography.For some types of bibliographies, you should use a different title, such as SourcesConsulted. If you do not arrange the bibliography alphabetically by author, include aheadnote, subheadings (formatted consistently), or both to explain the arrangement. See 16.2for these variations.If you are using reference list–style citations, you must include a reference list in the backmatter. Label the first page of the list References at the top of the page. Do not repeat the titleon subsequent pages of the reference list. Leave two blank lines between the title and the firstitem listed, and one blank line between items. Figure A.16 shows a sample page of a referencelist.In the rare case that you do not arrange the reference list alphabetically by author (see18.2.1), include a headnote, subheadings (formatted consistently), or both to explain thearrangement.
