Guidelines

General Statistics Citation

Citations for statistics should enable your readers to locate the table or data that you have used in your assignment or paper. At a minimum, a citation should include:

  • creator of the data (often an organization or government agency)
  • date of publication
  • where it was published
  • date that you accessed the data, only if significant (i.e., data is updated without adjustment to publication date)
