2. INTRODUCTION:
- Appendices are additional materials that are included in a
research paper to provide supplementary information.
- - They are typically located at the end of the paper and are
labeled with letters (e.g., Appendix A, Appendix B, etc.).
- - Appendices can include a wide range of materials, such as
survey instruments, interview transcripts, data tables, and
graphs.

3. PURPOSE
The purpose of appendices is to provide readers with additional
information that is relevant to the research but not essential to the main
text.
- Appendices can be used to provide more detailed information about
research methods, data analysis, or results. - They can also be used to
present materials that would be too lengthy or detailed to include in the
main text.

paper, including font size and style, margins, and page numbering.
- Each appendix should be clearly labeled and referenced in the main
text of the paper.

- Appendices are an important part of research
methodology that can provide readers with
additional information and support the research
findings.
- When including appendices in a research paper,
it's important to format them consistently and label
them clearly.
- If you're unsure about what materials to include
in the appendices, consult with your supervisor or
research advisor.
