Tips to Citing Government Documents

Some government titles are extremely long and you may encounter documents whose titles are similar. It is very important to write down the complete title of the document you are searching for.

Government documents may list the issuing agency as the author rather than an individual. Some types of authors you may see include:

  • Individual or several individuals
  • Federal agency
  • Corporate author
  • Editor, no author
  • No author
