Statistics are a vital source of evidence as they provide us with clear, objective, numerical data that can form an evidence base for decision making and help us to identify issues and opportunities, develop options and recommendations, monitor progress, evaluate outcomes, and understand the world.

When acknowledging a source (also called a citation ) you should follow the bibliographic style you are using for your text e.g. APA, MLA, Harvard. (See our Referencing Help Guide for more information about bibliographic styles.)
