APA-Formatted Results Table Generator for Thesis & Dissertation Writers

How It Works

1. 1 Identify your statistical test type (t-test, ANOVA, regression, correlation, chi-square) and design specifics (e.g., independent samples, factorial, hierarchical)
2. 2 Extract statistical values from your output: test statistics, degrees of freedom, exact p-values, effect sizes (Cohen's d, η², R²), and descriptive statistics (M, SD, n)
3. 3 Apply APA 7th edition formatting rules: italicize all statistical symbols, use correct decimal places per Table 6.4, format p-values without leading zeros, add significance indicators
4. 4 Construct dissertation-appropriate table structure with sequential numbering, descriptive title, clear column headers, proper alignment, and minimal horizontal lines
5. 5 Generate comprehensive table notes including total sample size (N), per-group sizes (n), contextual information for committee understanding, abbreviation definitions, reference categories, and significance level definitions
6. 6 Deliver three formats: Markdown preview for accuracy verification, Word-compatible plain text with step-by-step italicization instructions for your dissertation document, and LaTeX code with proper \textit{} commands for LaTeX thesis templates
