Accounting Subject Guide: Citing Business Sources

Basic guide to important library resources for the study of accounting.

Business Source Types-Chicago

TABLES - CHICAGO STYLE

  • Position tables and figures after the paragraph in which they’re described.
  • Cite the source of the table and figure information with a “source line” at the bottom of the table or figure.
    • Source lines are introduced by the word Source(s), followed by a colon, and ended with a period.
    • Cite a source as you would for parenthetical citation, minus the parentheses, and include full information in an entry on your References page.
    • Acknowledge reproduced or adapted sources appropriately (i.e., data adapted from; map by . . . ).
  • Every table should have a number and (a short and descriptive) title flush left on the line above the table.
  • Every figure should have a number and a caption flush left on the line below the figure.
  • Number tables and figures separately in the order you mention them in the text.
  • In the text, identify tables and figures by number (“in figure 3”) rather than by location (“below”).
  • Any figure or table that uses symbols or patterns should be accompanied with a key to identify them, either within the figure or table itself or in its caption.

Tables from Other Sources

If using tables from a source, copy the structure of the original exactly, and cite the source in accordance with Chicago style.

Business Source Types-MLA

TABLES - MLA STYLE

  • Refer to the table and its corresponding numeral in-text. Do not capitalize the word table. This is typically done in parentheses (e.g. "(see table 2)").
  • Situate the table near the text to which it relates.
  • Align the table flush-left to the margin.
  • Label the table Table and provide its corresponding Arabic numeral. No punctuation is necessary after the label and number (see example below).
  • On the next line, provide a caption for the table, most often the table title. Use standard capitalization rules.
  • Place the table below the caption, flush-left, making sure to maintain basic MLA style formatting (e.g. one-inch margins).
  • Below the title, signal the source information with the descriptor "Source," followed by a colon, then provide the correct MLA bibliographic information for the source in note form. Use a hanging indent for lines after the first. If you provide source information with your illustrations, you do not need to provide this information on the Works Cited page.
  • If additional caption information or explanatory notes is necessary, use lowercase letters formatted in superscript in the caption information or table. Below the source information, indent, provide a corresponding lowercase letter (not in superscript), a space, and the note.
  • Labels, captions, and notes are double-spaced.

In-text reference:

In 1985, women aged 65 and older were 59% more likely than men of the same age to reside in a nursing home, and though 11,700 less women of that age group were enrolled in 1999, men over the same time period ranged from 30,000 to 39,000 persons while women accounted for 49,000 to 61,500 (see table 1).
