What is the Chicago Style citation format?
The Chicago Style citation format ensures that your sources are cited according to the requirements of the Chicago Manual of Style. To correctly cite sources in Chicago Style, remember these important tips:
- Each citation should include the title, author, publication date, and (if applicable) publisher, DOI or URL, and publication source
- The bibliography should be single spaced and in alphabetical order
- If a source in your bibliography extends onto a second line, it should be indented
- Footnotes should go at the bottom of each page
- Append any endnotes to the end of each chapter
