Citing Tables, Figures and Business Reports in APA Style (7th Edition)


Writers and researchers use tables and figures to present a large amount of information efficiently to make their data more comprehensible. The goal of using tables or figures is to help readers understand the subject better. 

A table shows numerical values and/or textual information arranged in columns and rows. A figure is a chart, graph, photograph, map, plot, infographic, or any other illustration that is not a table.

You should go to APA Style to learn how to create tables and figures for your papers. But sometimes, you prefer to borrow tables and figures from other sources to support your work, and in order to avoid plagiarism, you must cite them properly.
