You are welcome to use Advanton’s statistics and charts in articles, reports, theses, presentations and business plans. This page explains how to cite Advanton statistics correctly and reuse them.
Quick rules
- Cite the statistic page you used, with its title and address.
- Name the original source too (for example, MoSPI or the US Bureau of Labor Statistics); it is shown on every statistic page.
- Say when a figure is an Advanton estimate if the page marks it as one.
- Link back to the statistic page when you publish online.
Copy a ready-made citation
Every statistic page has a Cite section with citations in APA, MLA and Chicago style, ready to copy. Use those where possible, because they include the exact title, period and address.

Reusing the figures
The underlying figures come from official sources under open licences (for example, CC BY 4.0 for World Bank data, the Government Open Data Licence – India, and US government works). You can reuse them under those terms; cite both Advanton and the original source. Please do not republish large parts of the site’s text or recreate the site’s pages in bulk.
