Chicago style is also referred to as Turabian style, which is the abbreviated student edition. There are two different forms of Chicago style: Notes style and Author-Date style. The primary difference between these two forms are not the content of the citation but the location of the date in the citation. For Chicago Author-Date style, primarily used for physical, life, and social sciences, the year of the date is located immediately after the first element, usually the author's name. For Chicago Notes style, primarily used for history, the location of the date varies by resource but is usually not immediately after the author. Chicago style includes footnotes and a bibliography for Notes style or parenthetical citations and a reference list for Author-Date style.
Chicago uses footnotes for Notes style or parenthetical citations for Author-Date style as its form of in-text citation. For footnotes, they are designated using a superscript number, beginning with 1 and continuing consecutively through the paper without repetition. The superscript number corresponds to a citation with a full-sized number at the bottom of the same page. These footnote citations should correspond to a more detailed citation in the bibliography. For parenthetical citations, provide a citation before the period directly following the information you are citing. These require the author's last name, year of publication, and page number.
Chicago uses a bibliography in Notes Style or a reference list in Author-Date style for its complete list of sources referenced. The bibliography or reference list is an alphabetized list of sources following the end of the book or paper. This list should be titled "Bibliography" or "References" and be alphabetized by the first item in the citation, which, in most cases, is the author's last name. For formatting this page, two blank lines should be between the title and the first entry, and only one blank line between the remaining entries. Each reference from this list must be cited in your paper and vice versa.
