What is Chicago Style?

There are two parts to referencing: the citations within the text of your paper and the reference list at the end of your paper.

Chicago style is an "author-date" style, so the citation in the text consists of the author(s) name and year of publication given wholly or partly in round brackets.

Use only the surname of the author(s) and the year of publication. Include page, chapter or section numbers, preceded by a comma, if you need to be specific.

Reference list entries contain all the information that someone needs to follow up your source. Reference lists in Chicago are arranged alphabetically by the primary author's surname.

See all examples for details on how to construct references for specific resources such as books, journals and web pages.
