The Chicago Manual of Style uses an author + date + page number system for in-text citations, but there is also a footnote / endnote plus bibliography format. The author-date system is used in many humanities fields (e.g., history, philosophy, international studies), and sometimes in sciences and social sciences. The less formal notes and bibliography style is used in humanities publications (e.g., less formal or less academic publications in literature, history, arts). The CM system, including the notes + bibliography style, can handle some more unusual source types that do not fit well in an author-date system such as the [[APA guide|APA]]. The formal author-date-page system is illustrated below. For more details on the CM author-date or note-bibliography systems, refer to the CM website (http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org). In academic writing in history studies, the Turabian style may be used, which is very similar to CM.

The ''Chicago Manual of Style'' is a style guide published by the University of Chicago Press since 1906, and is currently in its 17th edition (2017). It specifices several formats for citing and referencing sources, as well as for English style and document layouts. It is commonly used for college papers, academic books, and academic research articles in various fields, particularly within various humanities fields. Areas include history, media studies, international studies, philosophy, theoretical linguistics, various areas of cultural studies, and others. Parts of the manual and its specifications are available online at [https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html]. Other style guides like Turabian style (for history) are based on CM. Many popular books on academic subjects by academic or professional experts also use CM for citations and references.

==Overview==

The CM website lists the end reference format followed by an example of the corresponding in-text citation, and this format is used for the examples below. The examples below are from http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html.

The Chicago Manual of Style offers several versions or formats for in-text citations and end references. The main formats for college papers are:
 +
 
 +
# Notes and Bibliography (NB) style: Short footnote style + bibliography format
 +
# Notes and Bibliography (NB) style: Long footnote + bibliography format
 +
# Parenthetical author-date + bibliography format
 +
 
 +
 
 +
For in-text references, the Chicago Manual has two footnote styles: (1) the long or full footnote style, and (2) the short (or shortened) footnote note style. The short footnote style is a convenient system that can be used for shorter essays or research papers, essay exams, or in-class writing assignments. The long footnote style would be used in academic or professional level books and in full-length essays and articles. Footnote style is an older and more semi-formal style of referencing. The footnote styles are more commonly used in humanities fields, for college papers and for some academic journals, especially older ones.
 +
 
 +
Whether you use the short or long footnote style, at the end of a college paper, full information about the sources cited appear in a section called ‘Bibliography’ (or maybe ‘References’ or ‘Works Cited’). For more examples, refer to the official guidebook, ''The Chicago Manual of Style''. For some older published works using the long footnote style, the end bibliography may be optional.
 +
 
 +
In the Notes & Bibliography styles, instead of footnotes, the citations can all be given at the end of the work in the form of endnotes. If endnotes are based on the short footnote style, then a bibliography should then follow. If endnotes are based on the long footnote style, then a bibliography may be optional. Endnote systems are more often used in older publications, or in popular books.
 +
 
 +
The in-text citation is somewhat simpler. Instead of footnotes, the in-text citation consists of the author’s or authors’ last name(s) and the date of publication. At the end of your paper you will list full information about your sources in a bibliography section.
 +

| As readers read a text, they construct a mental model of the semantic contents of the text, and their model construction is facilitated by various contextual and individual reader factors<sup>1</sup>. Discourse connectives impart logical and textual coherence to texts. Reading experiments show that discourse connectives facilitate and readers’ comprehension of texts, in that they provide explicit cues about the logical relationships among referents, propositions, and clauses, and thus help readers to construct online mental representations of the meaning of a text<sup>2</sup>. Subordinating conjunctions also facilitate reading times and coherence by marking information as relatively secondary, so that readers can focus more on the content of main clauses<sup>3</sup>. However, excessive use of connectors may not be felicitous, as some studies suggest that explicit markers can interfere with readers’ text comprehension<sup>4</sup>. To what degree such relationships need to be made explicit depend on the genre or text type, and the readers’ level of expertise and background knowledge<sup>5</sup>.
 +
 
 +
In recent years, applied linguists have begun to conduct corpus-based studies of second language (L2) writing in English, particularly by comparing native English writers and L2 in their use of connectors (i.e., connectives, transitionals). Some studies have examined ESL/EFL writers from Western language backgrounds, such as one seminal study<sup>6</sup> of English connective use by L2 writers, compared to native writer (L1) patterns. Their study revealed patterns of overuse, underuse, and sometimes infelicitous use of particular transitional expressions by L2 writers of French and other European backgrounds.

== Short footnote style ==
 +
 
 +
The short footnote style looks like the long footnote style, but the footnotes at the bottom of the page are shorter, containing information such as author last names titles or shortened titles, and page numbers (if relevant). The Works Cited page would be like the one above.

== Parenthetical in-text citation format ==
 +
 
 +
Within the text of an essay, the authors’ names can be mentioned in the sentence, with the date in parentheses, or more often, the author names and dates appear in parentheses. Page numbers can also be included if relevant (if a direct quotation is used, or if the information is specifically from a certain page or certain pages). If the author-date system is used, then footnotes are not used for citing sources.

|As readers read a text, they create a mental model of the meaning of the text, and this process is aided by various factors, depending on context and individual readers (Gernsbacher 1990; Kintsch 1998; McNamara et al. 1996). Conjunctions and other connecting expressions give texts logical and textual coherence. Reading experiments show that these connectors aid readers’ text comprehension, in that they provide explicit cues about the logical relationships among referents (e.g., items that nouns refer to), ideas, and clauses, and thus help readers to form their mental models for the meaning of a text (Degand, Lefèvre, and Bestgen 1999). Subordinating conjunctions also facilitate reading times and coherence by marking information as relatively secondary, so that readers can focus more on the content of main clauses (Traxler and Gernsbacher 1995). However, excessive use of connectors may not be helpful, as some studies suggest that too many connecting expressions can interfere with readers’ text comprehension (Millis, Graesser, and Haberlandt 1993). To what degree such relationships need to be made explicit depend on the type of text, and the readers’ level of background knowledge about the topic of the text (McNamara and Kintsch 1996).
 +
 
 +
In recent years, applied linguists have begun to conduct studies of actual writing samples by students learning English as a second language (L2) in ESL courses, particularly by comparing native English writers and L2 writers in how they use of connectors. Some studies have examined ESL/EFL writers from Western language backgrounds, such as one study (Granger and Tyson 1996) of English connector use by European L2 writers. Their study found, for example, patterns of overuse, underuse, and sometimes incorrect use of particular expressions by French writers, especially in overusing “to the contrary” due to the influence of a similar French expression, whose usage is actually different in English (Granger and Tyson 1996, 22-23).

=== General guidelines for in-text citations ===
 +
 
 +
==== Author names within sentence vs. within parentheses ====
 +
 
 +
:A famous study by Granger and Tyson (1996) of English connector use ...
 +
 
 +
:A famous study (Granger and Tyson 1996) of English connector use ...
 +
 
 +
 
 +
==== Page numbers  ====
 +
 
 +
Page numbers can be given if the information is mainly from a certain page or certain pages. Page numbers should be given if a direct quote is used from the source.
 +
 
 +
:Their usage was influenced by the French connector ''au contraire'' (Granger and Tyson 1996, 23).
 +
 
 +
:Similar patterns were also found for other Europeans (Granger and Tyson 1996, 22-24).
 +
 
 +
:They noted that both groups were “inherently and essentially the same” (Smith and Jones 2001, 13).
 +
 
 +
 
 +
==== Multiple works in one citation  ====
 +
 
 +
Several works can be cited together, and are listed in alphabetical order of the first author of each work.
 +
 
 +
:... depending on context and individual readers (Gernsbacher 1990; Kintsch 1998; McNamara et al. 1996).
 +
 
 +
==== Works by multiple authors  ====
 +
 
 +
If a work is by four or more authors, then use the first author’s name followed by ''et al.'' (a Latin abbreviation for ''et alia'' ‘and others,’ similar to ''etc.'' for ''et cetera''). All authors’ names are given in the bibliography entry.
 +
 
 +
:These can lead to different types of mental models for meanings of texts (Degand et al. 2002).
 +
 
 +
 
 +
== Bibliography format ==
 +
 
 +
At the end of your paper you will list full information about your sources in a section called ‘Bibliography’ (or ‘References’ or ‘Works Cited’). These are listed in alphabetical order according to the last name (family name) of the first author.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
=== Citing different types of sources  ===
 +
 
 +
Actually, the format for items in the bibliography section is slightly different than for the footnote system, particularly in that dates come after the names instead of near the end of bibliographic entries, for bibliographies in the author-date system. However, this seems confusing, and for your papers, you can do your bibliography items in either format<ref name="ftn2">For more on the author-date+bibliography system, then refer to this page, or the official ''Chicago Manual of Style'' guidebook: [http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide/citation-guide-1.htm www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide/citation-guide-][http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide/citation-guide-1.htm 2][http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide/citation-guide-1.htm .htm].  </ref> These examples are mainly for the bibliograpy format for use with parenthetical in-text citations; refer to the next section that compares the formats for footnote and parenthetical citations and end references.

If a source has no date, as is the case with some web and electronic sources, then use ‘n.d.’ instead of a date in the bibliographic entry. The date when you accessed the source is not usually required (e.g., for periodical and journal articles), unless the material is time-sensitive, that is, if the content of the website might change over time.

=== Foreign sources  ===
 +
 
 +
For in-text citations, the author names are romanized (spelled in Latin letters), e.g.:
 +
 
 +
:According to Cho (1999) ... , while another study (Zhou 2001) found that ...
 +
 
 +
 
 +
==== Romanized bibliography entries ====
 +
 
 +
For bibliography entries in Chicago style, there are two options: with and without the original language. If the readers are not likely to be familiar with the original language, then the titles of the works (e.g., article titles) and the publication titles (e.g., book title, or the name of the magazine, journal, or newspaper) can be given, followed by an English translation in square brackets. If the language does not use the Latin alphabet, it can be romanized into English (written in the Latin alphabet). For Korean, different romanization systems exits; for your essays, simply do the best you can to romanize it. <ref name="ftn3">
 +
These examples are from the following websites, and follow the format for the Chicago footnote-bibliography style. You can convert them to the author-date+bibliography style if you want to.

== Various sources in CM formats ==
 +
 
 +
This section compares different types of sources, for the short and long footnotes, and the corresponding bibliography (works cited) entry. The format for bibliographic entries differs slightly depending on whether you are using a footnote system or a parenthetical citation system. This is a complexity that can make CM confusing. As you may notice, there are slight format differences in the ordering of information in works cited entries. Thus, the different styles are compared here in table format, like so<ref name="ftn1">These examples are mostly from http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide/citation-guide-1.htm.</ref>.

==== Chapter or other part of an edited book / volume  ====
 +
 
 +
An edited book can include anthologies of famous pieces of literature (e.g., a poetry antholgoy), or a collection of famous essays or research papers on a particular topic. More often, an edited volume is a book that contains original research by scholars, researchers, or scientists, in the form of seperate research articles (소논문) by different authors, which are then collected together by an editory into a single book volume on a particular research topic or research theme. When citing these in an essay, cite specific pages in the footnote. In the bibliography, include the page range for the chapter or section.

For such media formats, the Chicago Manual does not officially specify how to cite them, and so you will need to put together typical CM elements in a way that works for your source. Some parts of the examples below may not be relevant or available (and they can thus be left out). In that case, simply make your citation / end reference as informative as you can. You can follow one of these general formats for footnotes and bibliography entries.

Latest revision as of 03:14, 4 December 2023

The Chicago Manual of Style is a style guide published by the University of Chicago Press since 1906, and is currently in its 17th edition (2017). It specifices several formats for citing and referencing sources, as well as for English style and document layouts. It is commonly used for college papers, academic books, and academic research articles in various fields, particularly within various humanities fields. Areas include history, media studies, international studies, philosophy, theoretical linguistics, various areas of cultural studies, and others. Parts of the manual and its specifications are available online at [1]. Other style guides like Turabian style (for history) are based on CM. Many popular books on academic subjects by academic or professional experts also use CM for citations and references.


1 Overview of formats

The Chicago Manual of Style offers several versions or formats for in-text citations and end references. The main formats for college papers are:

  1. Notes and Bibliography (NB) style: Short footnote style + bibliography format
  2. Notes and Bibliography (NB) style: Long footnote + bibliography format
  3. Parenthetical author-date + bibliography format


For in-text references, the Chicago Manual has two footnote styles: (1) the long or full footnote style, and (2) the short (or shortened) footnote note style. The short footnote style is a convenient system that can be used for shorter essays or research papers, essay exams, or in-class writing assignments. The long footnote style would be used in academic or professional level books and in full-length essays and articles. Footnote style is an older and more semi-formal style of referencing. The footnote styles are more commonly used in humanities fields, for college papers and for some academic journals, especially older ones.

Whether you use the short or long footnote style, at the end of a college paper, full information about the sources cited appear in a section called ‘Bibliography’ (or maybe ‘References’ or ‘Works Cited’). For more examples, refer to the official guidebook, The Chicago Manual of Style. For some older published works using the long footnote style, the end bibliography may be optional.

In the Notes & Bibliography styles, instead of footnotes, the citations can all be given at the end of the work in the form of endnotes. If endnotes are based on the short footnote style, then a bibliography should then follow. If endnotes are based on the long footnote style, then a bibliography may be optional. Endnote systems are more often used in older publications, or in popular books.

The in-text citation is somewhat simpler. Instead of footnotes, the in-text citation consists of the author’s or authors’ last name(s) and the date of publication. At the end of your paper you will list full information about your sources in a bibliography section.


2 Chicago Manual, long footnote style

2.1 Example

Here is a sample excerpt of a college paper using the long footnote style.


As readers read a text, they construct a mental model of the semantic contents of the text, and their model construction is facilitated by various contextual and individual reader factors1. Discourse connectives impart logical and textual coherence to texts. Reading experiments show that discourse connectives facilitate and readers’ comprehension of texts, in that they provide explicit cues about the logical relationships among referents, propositions, and clauses, and thus help readers to construct online mental representations of the meaning of a text2. Subordinating conjunctions also facilitate reading times and coherence by marking information as relatively secondary, so that readers can focus more on the content of main clauses3. However, excessive use of connectors may not be felicitous, as some studies suggest that explicit markers can interfere with readers’ text comprehension4. To what degree such relationships need to be made explicit depend on the genre or text type, and the readers’ level of expertise and background knowledge5.

In recent years, applied linguists have begun to conduct corpus-based studies of second language (L2) writing in English, particularly by comparing native English writers and L2 in their use of connectors (i.e., connectives, transitionals). Some studies have examined ESL/EFL writers from Western language backgrounds, such as one seminal study6 of English connective use by L2 writers, compared to native writer (L1) patterns. Their study revealed patterns of overuse, underuse, and sometimes infelicitous use of particular transitional expressions by L2 writers of French and other European backgrounds.

3 Short footnote style

The short footnote style looks like the long footnote style, but the footnotes at the bottom of the page are shorter, containing information such as author last names titles or shortened titles, and page numbers (if relevant). The Works Cited page would be like the one above.

4 Parenthetical in-text citation format

Within the text of an essay, the authors’ names can be mentioned in the sentence, with the date in parentheses, or more often, the author names and dates appear in parentheses. Page numbers can also be included if relevant (if a direct quotation is used, or if the information is specifically from a certain page or certain pages). If the author-date system is used, then footnotes are not used for citing sources.

4.1 Example

As readers read a text, they create a mental model of the meaning of the text, and this process is aided by various factors, depending on context and individual readers (Gernsbacher 1990; Kintsch 1998; McNamara et al. 1996). Conjunctions and other connecting expressions give texts logical and textual coherence. Reading experiments show that these connectors aid readers’ text comprehension, in that they provide explicit cues about the logical relationships among referents (e.g., items that nouns refer to), ideas, and clauses, and thus help readers to form their mental models for the meaning of a text (Degand, Lefèvre, and Bestgen 1999). Subordinating conjunctions also facilitate reading times and coherence by marking information as relatively secondary, so that readers can focus more on the content of main clauses (Traxler and Gernsbacher 1995). However, excessive use of connectors may not be helpful, as some studies suggest that too many connecting expressions can interfere with readers’ text comprehension (Millis, Graesser, and Haberlandt 1993). To what degree such relationships need to be made explicit depend on the type of text, and the readers’ level of background knowledge about the topic of the text (McNamara and Kintsch 1996).

In recent years, applied linguists have begun to conduct studies of actual writing samples by students learning English as a second language (L2) in ESL courses, particularly by comparing native English writers and L2 writers in how they use of connectors. Some studies have examined ESL/EFL writers from Western language backgrounds, such as one study (Granger and Tyson 1996) of English connector use by European L2 writers. Their study found, for example, patterns of overuse, underuse, and sometimes incorrect use of particular expressions by French writers, especially in overusing “to the contrary” due to the influence of a similar French expression, whose usage is actually different in English (Granger and Tyson 1996, 22-23).

4.2 General guidelines for in-text citations

4.2.1 Author names within sentence vs. within parentheses

A famous study by Granger and Tyson (1996) of English connector use ...
A famous study (Granger and Tyson 1996) of English connector use ...


4.2.2 Page numbers

Page numbers can be given if the information is mainly from a certain page or certain pages. Page numbers should be given if a direct quote is used from the source.

Their usage was influenced by the French connector au contraire (Granger and Tyson 1996, 23).
Similar patterns were also found for other Europeans (Granger and Tyson 1996, 22-24).
They noted that both groups were “inherently and essentially the same” (Smith and Jones 2001, 13).


4.2.3 Multiple works in one citation

Several works can be cited together, and are listed in alphabetical order of the first author of each work.

... depending on context and individual readers (Gernsbacher 1990; Kintsch 1998; McNamara et al. 1996).

4.2.4 Works by multiple authors

If a work is by four or more authors, then use the first author’s name followed by et al. (a Latin abbreviation for et alia ‘and others,’ similar to etc. for et cetera). All authors’ names are given in the bibliography entry.

These can lead to different types of mental models for meanings of texts (Degand et al. 2002).


5 Bibliography format

At the end of your paper you will list full information about your sources in a section called ‘Bibliography’ (or ‘References’ or ‘Works Cited’). These are listed in alphabetical order according to the last name (family name) of the first author.


5.1 Citing different types of sources

Actually, the format for items in the bibliography section is slightly different than for the footnote system, particularly in that dates come after the names instead of near the end of bibliographic entries, for bibliographies in the author-date system. However, this seems confusing, and for your papers, you can do your bibliography items in either format[1] These examples are mainly for the bibliograpy format for use with parenthetical in-text citations; refer to the next section that compares the formats for footnote and parenthetical citations and end references.

If a source has no date, as is the case with some web and electronic sources, then use ‘n.d.’ instead of a date in the bibliographic entry. The date when you accessed the source is not usually required (e.g., for periodical and journal articles), unless the material is time-sensitive, that is, if the content of the website might change over time.

5.2 Foreign sources

For in-text citations, the author names are romanized (spelled in Latin letters), e.g.:

5.2.1 Romanized bibliography entries

For bibliography entries in Chicago style, there are two options: with and without the original language. If the readers are not likely to be familiar with the original language, then the titles of the works (e.g., article titles) and the publication titles (e.g., book title, or the name of the magazine, journal, or newspaper) can be given, followed by an English translation in square brackets. If the language does not use the Latin alphabet, it can be romanized into English (written in the Latin alphabet). For Korean, different romanization systems exits; for your essays, simply do the best you can to romanize it. [2]

6 Various sources in CM formats

This section compares different types of sources, for the short and long footnotes, and the corresponding bibliography (works cited) entry. The format for bibliographic entries differs slightly depending on whether you are using a footnote system or a parenthetical citation system. This is a complexity that can make CM confusing. As you may notice, there are slight format differences in the ordering of information in works cited entries. Thus, the different styles are compared here in table format, like so[3].

6.1.1 Chapter or other part of an edited book / volume

An edited book can include anthologies of famous pieces of literature (e.g., a poetry antholgoy), or a collection of famous essays or research papers on a particular topic. More often, an edited volume is a book that contains original research by scholars, researchers, or scientists, in the form of seperate research articles (소논문) by different authors, which are then collected together by an editory into a single book volume on a particular research topic or research theme. When citing these in an essay, cite specific pages in the footnote. In the bibliography, include the page range for the chapter or section.

6.4 Media materials

For videos, TV and other media materials, the elements used in the citations and references will depend on the type of source used, such as the medium (video/DVD, TV broadcast, online), or whether it is an entire work (e.g., a film or an entire TV series, an episode or other partial work (e.g., an episode of a TV show). The general patterns are as follows[4].

entire work, LF 1. First-name Last-name, Title of Work, directed/performed by Firstname Lastname (Original release year; City: Studio/Distributor, Video release year), Medium.
episode, LF 1. Title of Work, episode number, “Episode Title,” directed/written/performed by Firstname Lastname, aired Month day, year, on Network Name, URL.
SF 1. Last-name, Title, year.

2. Title, year.

6.4.2 TV shows

For such media formats, the Chicago Manual does not officially specify how to cite them, and so you will need to put together typical CM elements in a way that works for your source. Some parts of the examples below may not be relevant or available (and they can thus be left out). In that case, simply make your citation / end reference as informative as you can. You can follow one of these general formats for footnotes and bibliography entries.

LF/WC “Episode name.” Series / program title. Directed/produced by X. Written by Y. Network. Original broadcast date.

Series / program title. “Episode name,” Episode number. Directed by X. Written by Y. Network. Year.


For example:

LF 1. "Blink." Dr Who. Directed by Hettie MacDonald. Written by Steven Moffat. BBC. June 9, 2007.

or:

1. Dr Who. “Blink,” Episode 3.10. Directed by Hettie MacDonald. BBC. 2007.

SF 1. "Blink," Dr Who, 2007.
WC-sf “Blink.” Dr Who. Directed by Hettie MacDonald. Written by Steven Moffat. BBC. June 9, 2007.

or:

Dr Who. “Blink,”Episode 3.10. Directed by Hettie MacDonald. BBC. 2007.

PITC ("Blink,” Dr Who, 2007)
WC-pitc “Blink.” Dr Who. 2007. Directed by Hettie MacDonald. Written by Steven Moffat. BBC. June 9, 2007.


6.4.3 Music and audio recordings

LF/WC Name of group or composer or performer, Title, contributing personnel, Recording date, Recording Company or Publisher, Track Number on Name of Album, Year of Release, Medium.

Name of group or composer or performer. Title. Contributing personnel. Recording date. Recording Company or Publisher, Medium.

e.g: 1. Bob Dylan, “Workingman’s Blues #2,” recorded February 2006, track 3 on Modern Times, Columbia, compact disc.

2. Charles, Ray. “Georgia on My Mind.” By Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell. Recorded March 1960. Track 2 on The Genius Hits the Road. ABC-Paramount. Vinyl LP.

or:

2. Ray Charles, vocalist, “Georgia on My Mind,” by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell, recorded March 1960, track 2 onThe Genius Hits the Road, ABC-Paramount, Vinyl LP.


6.5 Online content

It is often sufficient simply to describe web pages and other website content in the text (“As of May 1, 2017, Yale’s home page listed . . .”). If a more formal citation is needed, it may be styled like the examples below. For a source that does not list a date of publication or revision, include an access date; if no date is available, use “n.d.” for ‘no date’ instead of a date and include an access date (when you viewed or downloaded the site or contents).

6.5.2 Social media content

Citations of SNS contents can often be limited to just a footnote or a simple in-text citation without a bibliography / works cited entry, e.g.:

PITC Conan O’Brien’s tweet was characteristically deadpan: “In honor of Earth Day, I’m recycling my tweets” (@ConanOBrien, April 22, 2015).


A more formal citation and/or bibliography entry can be added if a formal citation is needed. In place of a title, quote up to the first 160 characters of the post. Comments are cited in reference to the original post.

6.5.3 Personal communication

A personal communication might occasionally be used to cite information from an online conversation (via email or SNS), personal conversation, or phone conversation with someone who is worthy of citing (e.g., an expert or a personal interview). These are usually cited in the text only, and are usually included in the end references.
