Introduction
Chicago citation style is used primarily in the humanities, including art history, history, literature, and politics. It may also be used in the sciences and social sciences. Chicago style has two formats.
- Notes and Bibliography style is preferred by the humanities. Citations are provided in footnote or end notes and a bibliography
- Author-Date style is preferred by the sciences and social sciences. Sources are briefly cited within the-text using parentheses and the full details are provided in a works cited list.
