{"id":33357,"count":19,"description":"\"ChicagoThe Chicago Manual of Style<\/em> (17th edition) contains guidelines for two styles of citation: notes and bibliography<\/strong>\u00a0and author-date<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nNotes and bibliography<\/strong> is the most common type of Chicago style citation, and the main focus of this article. It is widely used in the humanities.\u00a0Citations are placed in footnotes<\/a> or endnotes<\/a>, with a Chicago style bibliography<\/a> listing your sources in full at the end.\r\n\r\nAuthor-date style<\/strong><\/a> is mainly used in the sciences. It uses parenthetical in-text citations<\/a>, always accompanied by a reference list at the end.\r\n

Citing sources with notes (notes and bibliography)<\/h2>\r\nTo cite sources in Chicago notes and bibliography style, place a superscript number at the end of a sentence or clause, after the punctuation<\/a> mark, corresponding to a numbered footnote or endnote<\/a>.\r\n\r\n\"Chicago\r\n\r\nFootnotes appear at the bottom of each page, while endnotes appear at the end of the text. Choose one or the other and use it consistently.\r\n\r\nMost word-processing programs can automatically link your superscript numbers and notes.\r\n

Full notes vs. short notes<\/h3>\r\nCitations can take the form of full notes or short notes. Full notes provide complete source information, while short notes include only the author\u2019s last name, the source title, and the page number(s) of the cited passage. The usual rule is to use a full note for the first citation of each source, and a short note for subsequent citations of the same source.\r\n\r\nGuidelines can vary across fields, though; sometimes you might be required to use full notes every time, or conversely to use short notes every time, as long as all your sources are listed in the bibliography. It's best to check with your instructor if you're unsure which rule to follow.\r\n

Multiple authors in Chicago notes<\/h3>\r\nWhen a source has multiple authors, list up to three in your note citations. When there are four or more, use \u201cet al.<\/a>\u201d (Latin for \u201cand others\u201d).\r\n

Chicago note citation examples (notes and bibliography)<\/h2>\r\nA Chicago footnote or endnote citation<\/a> always contains the author\u2019s name and the title of the source. The other elements vary by the type of source you\u2019re citing.\r\n\r\nPage number(s) should be included if you are referring to a specific part of the text. The elements of the citation are separated by commas<\/a>, and the note always ends with a period. The page range is separated by an en dash<\/a>.\r\n\r\nNavigate through the Chicago citation examples using the tabs below.\r\n
