Brochures, Fact Sheets, & Templates: General Reference Format
Treat brochures, fact sheets, templates etc. like books. As with any reference list entry, the four elements you’ll need are the author, the date, the title, and the source. Indicate the type of publication in square brackets after the title, unless the publication type is included in the title.
