appendici

Appendici is the Italian plural form of appendice, commonly used to refer to appendices in documents. In this sense, appendici denote sections at the end of a text that provide supplementary material which supports but is not essential to the main narrative. They are widely used in academic papers, theses, books, and technical reports to organize additional information without interrupting the flow of the main chapters.

The typical contents of appendici include extended data sets, raw measurements, detailed derivations or proofs, methodological protocols, survey instruments, questionnaires, code lists or software, and additional figures or tables. Some publishers distinguish appendici, which are integrated into the manuscript, from online supplementary materials that accompany an article and may be hosted separately. The choice often depends on disciplinary norms and deliverable requirements.

Formatting and referencing conventions usually involve labeling each appendix (for example, Appendix A, Appendix B) and citing them from the main text. Tables and figures located in appendici are often numbered with an appendix prefix (Table A.1, Figure B.2). The appendici order generally follows the main text and may appear after the references or end matter, depending on publisher guidelines. In multilingual or interdisciplinary works, appendici serve to provide depth, replication resources, or extended context without cluttering the core narrative. For anatomical contexts, appendiceal terms use the same plural form, though the usage in content may differ. Appendici thus enhance transparency, reproducibility, and comprehensiveness.
