MLA Citation Guide (9th Edition): Statistics

In your works cited list, abbreviate months as follows: 

January = Jan.
February = Feb.
March = Mar.
April = Apr.
May = May
June = June
July = July
August = Aug.
September = Sept.
October = Oct.
November = Nov.
December = Dec.

Spell out months fully in the body of your paper. 

Note: For your Works Cited list, all citations should be double spaced and have a hanging indent.

A "hanging indent" means that each subsequent line after the first line of your citation should be indented by 0.5 inches.

Author 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 9th edition recommends including URLs, Columbia College Library recommends that URLs be left out when citing a work found in a library database. This is because most URLs from library databases 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. 

Author Last Name, First Name. "Title of Document: Subtitle if Any." Statistics Canada, Date of publication, URL. Accessed Day Month Year site was visited.

 Note: Occasionally the author will be listed as Statistics Canada. If the publication is authored and published by Statistics Canada, start your citation with the title of the document.
