Cite in Chicago Style NB: References: Articles

General Format

References are entered in two places. The Bibliography goes at the end of your paper, and the Notes are the in-text citation in the body of your paper.

• The Bibliography has the full citation information
  • Single-spaced and with no extra space between entries.
  • Alphabetize entries and use a hanging indent.
  • See the examples in the boxes below.
• Notes are either endnotes (at the end of the body of paper) or footnotes (bottom of each page)
  • Formatting is the same for endnotes or footnotes. But use only one or the other, not both.
  • Numbered notes are coordinated with superscript numbers in the body of the text.
  • The first time you cite a source, use the Full Note as indicated below; subsequent times, use the Shortened Note form.

Magazine or Newspaper Articles

Newspapers and magazines are usually cited by date only, not volume/issue number. They also usually do not include inclusive page numbers in the bibliography, as the content may be separated by extra material.
