Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I generate a citation for a report?
- The generator above opens on the Report source type. Enter the author or issuing organization (e.g. a government agency or think tank), the title, the report number if there is one, the publisher, and the year — add the URL if you accessed it online. Pick your citation style and click Generate Citation. CitationEasy formats the reference and you can edit any field before copying or exporting it.
- What do I include when citing a government report?
- An APA government-agency report reference includes the agency as the author, the year, the italicized title, the report number in parentheses after the title — (Report No. 1234) — the publisher, and the URL. When the agency that wrote the report is also the publisher you do not repeat it: list the agency as author and omit the publisher element.
- How do I cite a report in APA vs MLA?
- APA 7th: Organization Name. (Year). Title of report (Report No. 1234). Publisher. URL. MLA 9th: Organization Name. Title of Report. Publisher, Year. URL. Pick the style above and the generator applies the correct format, including the parenthetical report number in APA.
- Who is the author when an organization wrote the report?
- Most reports are written by a group — a government agency, NGO, think tank, or company — rather than a named individual. List that organization as the author. In the manual form, enter the full organization name in the author field; the generator treats it as a corporate (institutional) author so it is not inverted like a personal name.

- All 10,832 styles in our library, including APA 7th, MLA 9th, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver, and AMA. Choose your style before or after entering the details and the reference reformats instantly.

- Yes. It is 100% free with no sign-up, no ads, and no limits. Your citations are saved locally in your browser and can be exported to BibTeX, RIS, CSV, or Word.
