Some prominent style manuals (e.g., APA) give direction on how to build these citations, while others (e.g., Chicago or Turabian, MLA) do not. This document will help you build these citations, but since there are different interpretations on citing data and statistics, it is recommended that you speak to your instructor about your references during the research process. If your professor has not specified a citation style, then you may want to use the APA format, which gives the clearest directions on citing data in your work. Citation elements for data and statistics Most citations will contain the following pieces of information, which identify the resource and indicate how to access it: Author(s), who may be people or an organization Year of Publication, which is often different from the year the data was collected Title of the Resource Version of the Resource (if available), which may be a serial number or a simple âVersion Xâ statement Format of the Resource, which indicates which part of the resource you used, e.g., [Data file] Retrieval Information, which may include publisher or distributor information and location, and persistent URLs. The availability of this information varies from resource to resource, and the required elements are dependent on your citation style. Citing data and statistics in common citation styles The following citation guidelines are keyed to their style manualsâ relevant sections for building references for data and statistics. Note that all citations require hanging indents in your bibliographies. APA The APA Publication Manual provides a standard model for datasets (7.08). The only required information in the retrieval statement is a web address. Standard model Author(s). (Year). Title of resource (Version) [Format]. Retrieval Information.

Chicago (Turabian) The Chicago Manual of Style does not have a standard citation model for data and statistics. However, it suggests using the citation format for books as a framework to build citations for other resources (14.68), and to include publisher and retrieval information (i.e., âfacts of publicationâ) when possible (14.69). It is recommended to add version and format information when available even though Chicago does not ask for it. Recommended model Author(s). Title of Resource. (Version). [Format].
