Q. Do appendices come before or after references?

APA Style (7th ed.)

Appendices usually appear after the references (American Psychological Association, n.d.). If you're not sure what's expected in your course work, please check with your instructor or thesis handbook for specific instructions. See In APA Style, What Order Should Manuscript Sections Follow? and What Are the APA Rules on Appendices? for more information.
