Referencing a table (reproduced in assignment)
A table can be referenced in much the same way as an image or figure whose creator is uncredited—i.e., by referencing the source in which the table appears. For example:
Author, A. (Date). Title of journal article: Subtitle in sentence case. Title of Journal in Italic Title Case, volume number(issue number), page range. https://doi.org/123.456.789
West, R. (2006). Catastrophic pathways to smoking cessation: Findings from national survey. British Medical Journal, 332(7539), 458–460.
https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.38723.573866.AE
Example

Table with multiple citations
If you need to cite several cells or pieces of information within the table, you can use a footnote system:
Using your own tables/graphs in a written assignment
You do not need to provide any referencing for tables you have created yourself. However, it may be necessary to reference information within your table if you have taken it from elsewhere.
