Citing Business Resources
Business resources like consumer data, market research or SEC filings can be tricky to cite as they don't fit the standard 'academic' conventions. But with a little work, you can develop good references that will allow your reader to understand the sources you used, and find them. Let me know if you have any questions, or need any advice.
Resources
