For citation information, scroll below any FRED graph and view the Notes. View the “Suggested Citation” to see how you may cite the data series. The notes also sometimes include any relevant copyright information.

In cases where copyright information is not available in the "Notes" scroll all the way to the bottom of the graph page. There will be a "Tags" section.

Within that section will be one of three tags:

• Public Domain: Citation Requested;
• Copyrighted: Citation Required; OR
• Copyrighted: Pre-approval Required.

For copyrighted data in FRED, you must get permission from the original data provider (identified in the “Notes”) if you want to share that data or graphs made from that data for anything other than your own personal, non-commercial use. For questions about permitted uses, refer to the complete FRED Services Terms of Use.
