10. Attribution

Always cite the source of the data used in your chart. It’s essential to use data from a reputable source you recognize. Also, include the year the data was created. Also, give yourself credit for creating the chart.

For example, you can use the following format for attribution for your charts:

Your Name | Data source: insert_source_here (Year)

You can see an illustration of attribution in 10.1.
