SCHEDULE

How to cite ABARES Content (including Content prepared jointly by ABARES and FWPA)

  1. Content from the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) must be acknowledged responsibly whenever it is used. Citing, or referencing, is important for several reasons, including acknowledging that one has used the ideas, words or data of others. Accurately citing sources used also allows others to find and use the original information.
  2. While users of ABARES Content may use different citation formats, depending on the internal style rules of the publication, institution or agency with whom their own work is associated, there are certain elements that are common to all of them which should be used when citations are generated.
  3. This includes:
  • using the names of ABARES staff identified as authors
    ‘ABARES’ as the publisher
  • the title of the product from which Content has been sourced, including the title of the series that the particular product has been published from
  • the year and month of publication
  • the category of the particular product
  • the Digital Object Identifier that has been assigned to the particular product
  • the correct Creative Commons licence abbreviation.
  • The abbreviation ‘ABARES’ may be used in in-text references with the name of the author or publication if the full name and abbreviation ‘Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES)’ has been used in the first in-text reference.

How to cite ABS Content

  • See https://www.abs.gov.au/how-cite-abs-sources.
  • Note particularly that for time series spreadsheets, the ABS’s citation guideline is:

    Format: Australian Bureau of Statistics (Reference period: Month YYYY) ‘Title of spreadsheet’ [time series spreadsheet], Title of Issue [URL], accessed DD month YYYY.

    Example: Australian Bureau of Statistics (June 2020) ‘Table 1. Key national accounts aggregates’ [time series spreadsheet], Australian National Accounts: National Income, Expenditure and Product, accessed 11 December 2020.
