Begin your MLA citation by giving the last and first name of the report's author followed by a period. For example:
Withers, Joe.
Indicate the nature of the communication by writing "Progress report" after the author's name.
Withers, Joe. Progress report.
Complete your MLA citation by giving the report's date in the following format: date, abbreviated month, year.
Withers, Joe. Progress report. 15 Mar. 2011.
Write the name of the organization issuing the report. For example:
Florida State University Financial Aid Office.
Enclose the year the report was published in parentheses.
Florida State University Financial Aid Office. (2009).
Give the name of the report in italics.
Florida State University Financial Aid Office. (2009). Uses of federal financial aid for fiscal year 2007-08.
Write the place of publication and indicate the publisher if relevant (if not, simply put "Author").
Florida State University Financial Aid Office. (2009). Uses of federal financial aid for fiscal year 2007-08. Tallahassee, FL: Author.
Begin by giving the first initial and last name of the report's author in parentheses followed by a comma. (Because APA does not dictate that you include personal communications in your reference page, you will instead create only an in-text citation for the progress report.)
For example:
(T. White,
Write "progress report" after the author's last name, followed by a comma.
(T. White, progress report,
Give the month, date, and year the report was published.
(T. White, progress report, February 22, 2011.)
