Home: Chicago 17

Here's a video to explain Chicago Style.

The handout for Chicago is located here.

• Insert a footnote for each direct quote and paraphrased sentence/paragraph.  The footnote will appear at the bottom of the page.
• Footnotes found on the page should be under the line on the same page.
• The first footnote should be the complete citation, single spaced (see below for examples of database, website, and book articles) Double space between citations.
• Subsequent footnotes are an abbreviated version of the citation (either title in quotes or author’s last name).
• In the footnote, put the author’s first name and then last name.  But in the Bibliography, put the last name, first.
• For websites, for the footnote, put a comma after the website title, then lowercase accessed.  For the Bibliography, put a period after the website title and capitalize Accessed.
• If two footnotes fall together in a row use a shortened version.
