Chicago Style Paper – Know The Correct Format
Chicago style, also known as the Turabian style, is widely used in documenting social science, history and political science papers. Here we will discuss the main citation characteristics of the Chicago style: in-line citation, footnotes, endnotes or content notes as well as bibliography. This hopefully will help students to make writing of the Chicago style paper a little more easier.
In the Chicago format there are two types. One which is followed for history and humanities is the old style and is known as “notes and bibliography”. In this case the bibliography is given along with the notes and maybe as part of the essay or at the end of the article in a group form. The first line of each note is indented two spaces. At the end of the essay there is another bibliography which contains the name of each work cited and also works which were used as references but not cited. The new one is known as the “author date” style and is used mainly in science. Here the in-text citation contains the name of the author and the date of publishing and at the end the bibliography gives the details as in the older format.
