Chicago Manual of Style, Author-Date or Parenthetical style


The Chicago Manual of Style includes an author + date + page number system for parenthetical in-text citations, which is a more formal referencing system. This consists of parenthetical citations within the text of the form (Author Year) or (Author Year, page #), with a bibliography (end references, works cited) at the end with full information on the sources cited. The parenthetical author-date system is used in many humanities fields (e.g., history, philosophy, international studies), business, and sometimes in sciences and social sciences. This formal author-date-page system is illustrated below.

There also exists a more semi-formal notes and bibliography style, consisting of footnotes and a works cited section. This is used in humanities publications (e.g., less formal or less academic publications in literature, history, arts). The CM system, including the notes + bibliography style, can handle some more unusual source types that do not fit well in an author-date system such as the APA. For more details on the CM author-date or note-bibliography systems, refer to the CM website (http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org). In academic writing in history studies, the Turabian style may be used, which is very similar to CM. but there is also a footnote / endnote plus bibliography format.


1 Overview

The CM website lists the end reference format followed by an example of the corresponding in-text citation, and this format is used for the examples below. The author names can be enclosed in parentheses, or included in the sentence. Many of the examples below are from http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html.
