Citing Electronic Sources - Chicago STYLE

 

CITING ELECTRONIC SOURCES - CHICAGO STYLE

Please see The Chicago Manual of Style (Ref. PN147 .U69 2003) for more information.

 

The Chicago Style supports two citation systems, one for the arts and humanities (the "Notes and Bibliography" system) and the other for the natural sciences and social sciences (the "Author-Date" system). Double space all lines. Indent the second and following lines. This guide provides examples for listing resources at the end of a research paper, using both systems.

Arts & Humanities (Notes & Bibliography System)

 

The titles and subtitles are italicized, using headline-style capitalization, where the first and last words of the title and subtitle and all other major words are capitalized.
