    Chicago Style History

    • Chicago Style was first developed in 1906.
    • The 14th edition marked the first use of "Chicago Manual of Style" as the name of the formatting style.

    Chicago Style Advantages

    Modernization

    • Recent editions of the Chicago Manual of Style have had to include guidelines for citing new types of sources, such as electronic sources, digital media, and social media.

    Citation Systems

    • Chicago Style offers two citation systems: Author-Date (AD) and Notes and Bibliography (NB).
    • The Author-Date (AD) system uses in-text citations with author's last name and year of publication.
    • The Notes and Bibliography system uses footnotes or endnotes to provide citations and a bibliography at the end of the paper.

    Author-Date (AD) System

    • In-text citations in the AD system typically include the author's last name and year of publication, separated by a comma and enclosed in parentheses.
    • A bibliography at the end of the paper lists all cited works in alphabetical order by author's last name.
    • In the Author-Date system, bibliography entries should be formatted with a hanging indent, meaning the first line of the entry is flush left and subsequent lines are indented.

    Notes and Bibliography (NB) System

    • Footnotes or endnotes are used in the NB system to provide detailed citations within the text, while a bibliography at the end of the paper lists all cited works, even if they have not been included in the notes.

    Footnote Formatting

    • In Chicago Style, footnotes are used for providing additional information, citations, and commentary.
    • Footnotes are numbered sequentially throughout the paper, using superscript numerals.
    • After the author's name in a Chicago Style footnote, the publication details follow, including the title, publisher, place of publication, and date of publication.
    • Subsequent lines after the first line of a footnote are indented.
