The accepted style of formatting and citation used by historians and social

scientists in papers, manuscripts, etc.

What is “Chicago Style”?

Notes/Bibliography Style

indicates that a source has been used by using a raised (superscript) number at the end of a sentence.

A corresponding note, which has the relevant reference information, at the bottom of the page (i.e. a footnote) or at the end of the document(i.e. an endnote)

In addition to the citations’ corresponding notes, each source will be included in a bibliography at the end of your paper.

The note and the bibliography contain the same information; however the formatting is different

You may have heard of MLA or APA…. and now Chicago Style.

Each format/style has strict rules that must be followed for consistency and proper citation of all research.

Trying to memorize the format for every type of source in each style is CRAZY. If you learn the pattern and always have something to check it against you will be much happier.

Example:A widely referenced scholar in the field argues that “the central concept of a human psychology is meaning and the processes and transactions involved in the construction of meanings.”1

Harvard University Press,1998), 33.

Subsequent notes5. Brunner, Acts of Meaning, 13.

Bibliography:

Important Points about Endnotes

Endnotes do not replace a bibliography

Footnotes AND endnotes use raised (superscript) numbers.

Indent the first line of footnotes and endnotes

Double space between entries.

Important Points About Bibliographies

Bibliography indents the lines after the first. (Hanging Indent)

Bibliography does not used raised numbers. Double space between entries Bibliography separates the main parts of the

entry with periods Different from Notes: Publisher and date are not

in parentheses in the bibliography. Different from Notes: In the bibliography list all

authors of a multiple-author work.

REMEMBER

Even if you paraphrase, summarize, or just mention an author’s work, you have to give a reference! Don’t

risk plagiarizing!

Footnotes and Endnotes

Footnotes and Endnotes

Footnotes and Endnotes are a one way to tell your readers where you got the information and quotes that appear in your paper. Your goal is to make it easy for your readers to see what sources you used -- and easy to find any that they might want to study further. Unlike other citation formats you may be used to, Footnotes and Endnotes do not appear in the body of the paper, but rather at the end of the page (in the case of a footnote) or the end of a document (in the case of an endnote).

This is a Footnote

1. Make sure your cursor is in the location where

you want to add the citation.2. Choose the REFERENCES tab at the top of

the page.

Adding a Endnote is very similar to adding a Footnote. Under the REFERENCES tab choose the INSERT ENDNOTE icon. You can still make changes to your endnotes in the same way you did with the footnotes.
