Great question! Generating APA-compliant ANOVA tables in R is totally doable with a few handy packages. Let’s walk through this step by step using your data and existing model.

First, a quick note: Looking at your sample data, all observations are in the Control group—you’ll need at least two treatment groups for a meaningful one-way ANOVA. But the methods below will work perfectly once you have your full dataset with multiple groups.

Method 1: Use apaTables (Simplest for APA Compliance) #

The apaTables package is built specifically to generate APA-formatted statistical tables with minimal effort. Here’s how to use it:

1. Install and load the package:

install.packages("apaTables")
library(apaTables)

2. Fit your existing ANOVA model (using your sample data as an example):

# Load your sample data
ANOVA_Relationship_Subset <- structure(list(RELATIONSHIP = c(4.33333349227905, 1, 4.33333349227905, 3.33333325386047, 4.83333349227905, 3), TotalComm = c(279.166687011719, 250, 275, 312.5, 291.666687011719, 237.5), treatment = c("Control", "Control", "Control", "Control", "Control", "Control"), beep = c(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)), row.names = c(NA, -6L), class = c("tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame"))

# Fit the ANOVA model
Anova_Results <- aov(TotalComm ~ treatment, data = ANOVA_Relationship_Subset)

3. Generate the APA table:

# Create a text-based APA table (prints to console)
apa.aov.table(Anova_Results, table.number = 1)

# Export directly to a Word document (ready for submission)
apa.aov.table(Anova_Results, table.number = 1, filename = "ANOVA_Table.docx")

The output will follow APA guidelines, including proper column labels (Source, SS, df, MS, F, p), table numbering, and clear headers. For your full dataset with multiple treatment groups, it will include significance markers and accurate effect sizes if applicable.

Method 2: Use sjstats + flextable (Customizable Formatting) #

If you want more control over table styling, combine sjstats to extract ANOVA statistics and flextable to format them to APA standards:

1. Install and load required packages:

install.packages(c("sjstats", "flextable", "dplyr"))
library(sjstats)
library(flextable)
library(dplyr)

2. Extract and clean ANOVA statistics:

anova_stats <- anova_stats(Anova_Results) %>%
  # Format p-values to APA standards (e.g., < .001 for small values)
  mutate(p.value = ifelse(p.value < .001, "< .001", round(p.value, 3)))

3. Build and format the APA table:

apa_table <- flextable(anova_stats) %>%
  # Rename columns to APA-friendly labels
  set_header_labels(
    term = "Source",
    sumsq = "SS",
    df = "df",
    meansq = "MS",
    statistic = "F",
    p.value = "p"
  ) %>%
  # Add table title (required for APA)
  add_header_lines("Table 1. One-Way ANOVA Results for TotalComm") %>%
  # Apply APA-themed styling
  theme_apa() %>%
  # Center-align all content
  align(align = "center", part = "all") %>%
  # Fix minor border issues for clean output
  fix_border_issues()

# View the table in your R console
apa_table

# Export to Word
save_as_docx(apa_table, path = "Custom_ANOVA_Table.docx")

This method lets you tweak fonts, borders, and layout while keeping the core APA structure intact.
