Chicago Citation Style

• Citation Styles

The Chicago Citation Style recommends documenting sources in footnotes or, preferably, endnotes. This system is used widely in the humanities, especially in history, art history, literature, and the arts. Sequential superscript numbers throughout the text refer readers to notes at either the bottom of the page or the end of the research paper. The correspondingly numbered notes provide the necessary bibliographical information. The information sometimes stands alone and sometimes is accompanied by a full listing of all the bibliographical sources at the end of the paper.
