Reports

The instructions on this page are valid for references to all kinds of reports from research institutes, authorities and companies. Some report will have a group author, e.g. organization, company or authority, instead of a personal author. If the publisher is the same as the author, omit the publisher from the source element.

If a DOI has been assigned to the report, include this number in the reference. If no DOI has been assigned and the report was accessed online from a nondatabase website, use the URL of the webpage from which it was retrieved. If the report was accessed in print or retrieved from an academic database, no URL is included.
