If their data is used in your work, you have to reference them. This is important for several reasons: - It shows that you didn't just make up that data on the spot. - It doesn't give the false impression that you gathered the data yourself. If you didn't do something, you should not pretend to have done it. - It allows the readers to evaluate the source of the data by themselves. Otherwise they would have to rely on you having a good judgement of the source. - In case you don't provide the data itself in your text, it allows the readers to get at the data in order to replicate your results. - And last not least, it gives credit to those people who did the work of gathering the data.
