Electronic/Web Sources

Electronic and Web sources are treated like articles when the reference is to a web page, or like books when the reference is to a downloadable report (in pdf or another format) or to the entire website.

A Marketline Report directly from Marketline:

Fields 2, 7, 8 of template plus 3, 9 of container 2. Avoid indicating Marketline as author, especially if you reference more than one Marketline report. Doing so will make in-text citations unnecessarily long since they would all have to indicate author AND title to differentiate between sources.

Microsoft Corporation Company Profile. Marketline, 15 Jun. 2018. Marketline [Link].

A Marketline Report from a different database:

Fields 3 and 9 of container 2 change to match the appropriate online database.
