Set article and chapter titles in quotation marks.Ĭapitalize the first letter of each word in a title.Īdditional information, such as volume or page number, may be required.įollow elements in the bibliography with a period and one space. Italicize titles and subtitles of major works, such as books and journals. For footnotes and endnotes the first name precedes the surname. For multiple authors, the second and subsequent authors are listed by first, then last name. In your bibliography, list authors by last name, then first. Non-print items should list the type of medium in the citation. Most citations include three key elements: (1) author's name, (2) title or source, and (3) publication information.ĭigital resources include a fourth element: preferably a DOI (a unique object identification number assigned to print and electronic publications), a URL (internet address), or database information. Chicago Style is used primarily for academic writing in history and the humanities and u ses a system of a bibliography and either endnotes or footnotes, rather than in-text citations.
