Cite in Chicago Style AD: References: Books

General Format

Notes:

  • A References page at the end of the document has full citations in alphabetical order formatted with a hanging indent. 
  • In a References list, if you have multiple sources with exactly the same author(s), use a 3em dash (---) instead of the author's name for the second and subsequent citations.
  • For sources that have up to ten authors, list all authors and alphabetize by the first author's last name. In the case of a source with eleven or more authors, list the first seven in the reference list, followed by “et al.”
