Some helpful business database-specific hints

To cite reports, data files, and other financial information from an online database, consider them "gray literature," and adapt the citation based on the rules in 7.03 of the APA Manual with as much information as you have.

  • Author: if no author, use the organization's name (i.e., Mergent, Value Line)
  • Date: if no date, use (n.d.)
  • Title of the document: Name the page you are on as < company, name of section >. This section of the citation should be in italics.
  • Source: "Retrieved from < name of the database >"

Mergent. (n.d.). Netflix Inc, Balance Sheet: 2010-2012. Retrieved from Mergent Online database.

Mergent. (n.d.) International Business Machines Corporation, Competitors. Retrieved from Mergent Online database.
