How do I cite organization reports and documents in APA Style?

Answer

These are usually PDFs that can be downloaded and not webpages.  If you wish to cite a page from an organization’s website, see the FAQ “How do I cite a webpage made by an organization or business in APA Style?”

 

The organization can either be the author of the publisher of any documents or reports they produce.  

  • If there are individuals (not editors) responsible for the report then the organization becomes the publisher.  
  • If there are no named people as authors, then the organization is the author.
