Say, you are writing a tourism dissertation or thesis. Most probably, you will include maps or pictures of some exotic places into your project. Yet, do you know how to do it properly? You cannot just insert a picture in the middle of the text, right?!
 
This is when a thesis or dissertation appendix comes in handy. We know that students have a lot of questions about this part of their projects. We are glad to provide all necessary explanations about a dissertation appendix.
 
Q: Is a dissertation appendix really important?
A: Sure, it is not something that your project cannot go without. However, if you feel that there is something important to be added, you will need to make a dissertation appendix.
 
Q: Where should I place my dissertation appendix?
A: A dissertation appendix appears at the end of your project, before a Bibliography list.
 
Q: Are there some particular rules of organizing a dissertation appendix?
A: Fortunately, there are not too many rules to keep in mind. A dissertation appendix should be placed on a new page. Put the title Appendix in the center of the page. Appendices are numbered A, B, C or 1, 2, 3. If you have an appendix that is several pages long, you do not have to write, for instance, Appendix A on every page. Do not forget that your dissertation appendix should appear in the Table of Contents.
 
Q: What exactly should I put into my dissertation appendix?
A: In a few words, any additional information that might be important for the understanding of your project can be included. To be more specific, a dissertation appendix may include:

• visual aids (maps, pictures, tables, graphs, etc.);
• raw data;
• details about some equipment used;
• details about questionnaires, interviews, etc.
