MLA Citation Guide: Business Resources from Library Databases

Statistics from Statista

Author's Last Name, First Name. "Title of Document: Subtitle if Any."  Date of publication, Statista.

 Note: Since Statista is the name of the publisher and database, to avoid repetition, omit publisher information and list Statista as the database at the end of the citation.

 Note: While MLA 8th edition recommends including URLs, Columbia College Library recommends that URLs be left out when citing a work found in a library database. Because library databases require a login most URLs will stop working after the session ends. If your instructor requires a URL, look for the "Permalink" icon in the article description and place the URL generated after the name of the database.
