Reference list entries vary depending upon the format of the source of your information. Reference lists in Chicago are arranged alphabetically by the primary author's surname.

Reference list entries contain all the information that someone needs to follow up your source. The full details of the source are given in a reference list at the end of the document: In this case, use the paragraph number, if available, with the abbreviation para. When citing in the text, no distinction is made between books, journal articles, internet documents or other formats, except for electronic documents that do not provide page numbers.

Include page, chapter or section numbers, preceded by a comma, if you need to be specific:

Use only the surname of the author(s) and the year of publication. There are two parts to referencing: the citations within the text of your paper and the reference list at the end of your paper.Ĭhicago style is an 'author-date' style, so the citation in the text consists of the author(s) name and year of publication given wholly or partly in round brackets.
