Do give a reference when:
- Less common statistics are used, especially those that have appeared recently and / or can only be found in journal articles.
- A statistic is used in an unconventional or controversial way.
- The statistic itself is the focus of the article.
When the publisher is the same as the author, omit the publisher.
Where the statistical report has a catalogue number, provide the number in parentheses after the title without italics. If there is no catalogue number, omit that part of the reference.
