CHICAGO’S NOTES AND

BIBLIOGRAPHY
FORMATTING AND STYLE GUIDE
CHICAGO MANUAL (16TH EDITION)
WHAT DOES CHICAGO REGULATE?

Chicago regulates:

•Stylistics and document


format
•In-text citations (notes)
•End-of-text citations
(bibliography)
OVERARCHING RULES

“Regardless of the convention being


followed, the primary criterion of any
source citation is sufficient information
either to lead readers directly to the
sources consulted or, . . . to positively
identify the sources used . . . ” (The
University of Chicago 2010, 655).
“Your instructor, department, or
university may have guidelines that
differ from the advice offered here. If
so, those guidelines take
precedence” (Turabian 2007, 374).
GENERAL FORMAT REQUIREMENTS
Chicago recommends:
•Print on standard-sized paper
(8.5” x 11”);
•Use 1”– 1.5” margins on all sides;
•Choose a readable typeface (e.g.,
Times New Roman) at no less
than 10 pt. (preferably,12 pt.);
•Double-space text, with one space
after punctuation between
sentences; and
•Number pages beginning with
Arabic numeral 1 on the first page
of text.
TITLE PAGE
No page
Title is centered numbers on
the title
one-third of the way page!

down the page and


written in ALL CAPS.

Name + course +
date follows several
lines later, also
centered.
MAIN BODY (TEXT)
• Number the first text page as page number 1.

• Type all text double-spaced (no break between


sections).

• Identify the sources you use in the paper in


footnotes and in the bibliography.

• Format tables and figures.


Center the title,
“Bibliography,” at the top
of the page. Do not bold,
italicize or enclose in
quotation marks.
Flush left the first line of the
entry and indent
subsequent lines

Single-space reference
entries internally. Double- REFERENC
space entries externally.
E PAGE
Order entries alphabetically
by the authors’ last names.
REFERENCE BASICS

• Invert authors’ names—last name followed by first name—and


alphabetize reference list entries by the last name of the first author
of each work.
Ex. Agamben, Giorgio
• Use headline-style capitalization for titles.
Ex. A Tale of Two Cities
• Italicize titles of longer works such as books and journals.
• Put quotation marks around the titles of shorter works such as
journal articles or essays in edited collections.
Ex. A Tale of Two Cities vs. “An Essay on Dickens’ A Tale of
Two Cities”
•Publishers’ names are generally written out in full but may be
abbreviated.
COMPILING THE REFERENCES LIST

The strategy below might be useful:

1.Identify the type of source:

Is it a book? A journal article? A webpage?

2. Find a sample of citing this type of source in the


manual or in the OWL Chicago Guide website:
http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/717/01/

3. “Mirror” the sample.

4. Make sure the entries are listed in alphabetical order


and that the subsequent lines are indented.
REFERENCES:
MULTIPLE AUTHORS
• For multiple authors, use the conjunction
“and,” not the ampersand (&) symbol.

• For two to three authors or editors


- write out all names in the order they appear
on the title page of the source in both
your notes and bibliography.
• For four to ten authors:
-write out all names in the bibliography but
use
just the first author’s name and “et al.” in
the
REFERENCES:
ONE AUTHOR, MULTIPLE ENTRIES

The 3-em dash


(—) should be
used to replace
authors or
editors’ names
who hold
multiple,
successive entries
in a bibliography.
REFERENCES:
ELECTRONIC SOURCES
DOIs:
• For electronic journal articles and other web sources,
DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers) are preferred to URLs
(Uniform resource Locators).
-If you must use a URL, look for the “stable”
version assigned by the journal.

• DOIs are to be prefaced with the letters “doi” and a


colon.
EX: DOI: 10.1353/art.0.0020

• While DOIs are assigned to journal articles in any


medium, you only need include a DOI when you
accessed the electronic version of the source.
REFERENCES:
DATES

• No access date is required to be reported for


electronic sources.
-Access dates cannot be verified; therefore, only
resort to
using access dates when the date of publication
is
unavailable.

• If you cannot ascertain the publication date of a


printed work, use the abbreviation “n.d.”
IN-TEXT BASICS
Formatting notes:
• Place note numbers at the end of the clause or
sentence to which they refer.
Place them after any and all punctuation except the dash.
• Begin note numbers with “1” and follow
consecutively throughout the paper.
• Superscript note numbers in the text. In the notes
themselves, note numbers are full sized, not raised,
and followed by a period.
IN-TEXT BASICS
The first line of a footnote is indented .5” from the left
margin.
Subsequent lines within a note should be formatted
flush left.
Leave an extra line space between notes.
IN-TEXT CITATIONS:
FORMATTING QUOTATIONS

• A prose quotation of five or


more lines should be
“blocked.”

• The block quotation is


singled-spaced and takes no
quotation marks, but you
should leave an extra line
space immediately before
and after.
• Indent the entire
quotation .5” (the same as
you would the start of a new
paragraph).
CHICAGO HEADINGS

Chicago has an optional system of five heading levels.


CHICAGO HEADINGS:
AN EXAMPLE

Here is an example of the five-level heading system:


QUOTATIONS

Direct quotations should:

• Be integrated into your text in a grammatically


correct manner;

• Use square brackets ([ ]), when necessary, to add


clarifying words, phrases, or punctuation; and

• Use “ellipses,” or three spaced periods (. . .), to


indicate the omission of words from a quoted
passage.
•Include additional punctuation when applicable.
QUOTATIONS

• Emphasis: Italic type can be used for emphasis


within a quote, but should only be used so
infrequently

“We went last Sunday.”

Do not use ALL CAPS for emphasis.

•Quotations within quotations are enclosed in


single quotation marks.

“The so-called ‘butterfly effect’ is often…”
