APA for Business Sources

WHEN TO INCLUDE DATABASE NAMES

Include database names, italicized, after the title, when the database is a specialized database that is not commonly subscribed to by academic institutions. For example, include the database name for Passport, IBIS World and Statista, but not for Business Source or ABI/INFORM.

DATA SETS

Include the publisher name, not the database name, after the title element. If the publisher is the same as the author, don't include. Do not italicize the publisher name.
