Citation Help

Below is an example of a book cited in both styles.

Humanities Style:

• N = notes that are found in either the end-notes or the footnotes
• B = bibliographic entries that are included at the end of the paper

Author-Date System:

• T = in-text citation included within the work
• R = a reference-list entry, that is again included at the end of the paper

See the Chicago Manual of Style Online Citation Guide for more examples.

The Chicago Manual of Style presents two basic documentation systems: the humanities style (notes and bibliography) and the author-date system. Choosing between the two often depends on subject matter and nature of sources cited, as each system is favored by different groups of scholars.

The humanities style is preferred by many in literature, history, and the arts.

• This style presents bibliographic information in notes and, often, a bibliography.

The more concise author-date system has long been used by those in the physical, natural, and social sciences.

• In this system, sources are briefly cited in the text, usually in parentheses, by author’s last name and date of publication. The short citations are amplified in a list of references, where full bibliographic information is provided.

TURABIAN?

"Chicago" and "Turabian" both refer to the same basic style of citation. The Chicago Manual of Style is a lengthy tome that covers all aspects of style, including capitalization, punctuation, etc. Kate Turabian wrote a book (A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations) that condenses the citation-related information in the Chicago Manual into a more readily-accessible format.
