In a report/thesis, how do I reference something to Appendix A? In a paragraph I wrote, it's about major roads, I want to tell them to refer to Appendix A on the road system. Do I put this?

(see Appendix A)

is that it?

That should be fine. You're referring to your own work anyways, so it's simple enough for them to flip back to Appendix A and find the information you're referring to. If you're worried you need further clarification (though you shouldn't), provide the page number as well.

No problem. When it comes to referencing OTHERS work, there's definitely a format to follow, and every teacher/professor will have their own preference. But this is referencing your own work, and as such, simply needs to be clear enough for your reader to find the appropriate information.

or u could put those extras into the Appendix and label each one according to what they are. If its a graph, call it Figure 1 and the reader would simply go to the appendix and look for Fig. 1. If its a table etc.
