Chicago Style. Footnotes/Endnotes

Transcription

1 Chicago Style When using The Chicago Manual of Style, you should first establish what type of Chicago citation style you will use, which is usually indicated by your professor or editor. The following are the 2 ways to cite material according to the new 6 th edition:. Footnotes and/or Endnotes: This method is always accompanied by a Bibliography. 2. Author-date references: A References Page always accompanies this method. Footnotes/Endnotes A footnote is placed at the bottom of a page of text to further explain, expand or cite a source as indicated by a superscript. An endnote is exactly the same as a footnote; however, it is found at the end of the paper in a single list after the heading of Notes. A footnote or endnote entry of a book with a single author is as follows: Footnote. Gordon MacKenzie, Orbiting the Giant Hairball: A Corporate Fool s Guide to Surviving with Grace (New York: Penguin, 998) MacKenzie, Orbiting the Giant Hairball, 5. Endnote MacKenzie, Gordon. Orbiting the Giant Hairball: A Corporate Fool s Guide to Surviving with Grace. New York: Penguin, 998. A few tips Chicago style allows users to not only add citation material in notes, but also commentary or additional material, such as extra quotations. If the source material in the footnote or endnote is exactly the same as the one immediately preceding it, Chicago style allows users to use Ibid. The word Ibid may take the place of all the identical material; different page numbers may be added. A shortened footnote, like the example 5 above under footnote, is unlike Ibid in that it may not come immediately after a previous MacKenzie note. Users may use shortened notes if the source has previously been used and noted. Notes pages have single-spaced entries with double-spacing between each entry.

Author-Date References Author-Date References are used in place of foot/endnotes. Making a decision about whether to use intext citations versus footnotes depends on the preference. Many disciplines in the physical, natural, and social sciences use the aut hor-date reference style of citation, but if unsure, users should check with a professor. Placement of In-Text Citations: In-Text Citations are usually placed just before a mark of punctuation and include the author s last name, the publication date, and a page number if needed. 3

4 A few tips If the author s name appears in a text, it need not be repeated in the parenthetical citation (p. 797): Litman (983) finds that Academy Award nominations or winnings are significantly related to revenues. Although a citation of a source normally follows a direct quotation, it may precede the quotation if the ordering of w ords permits (p. 798). For example: As Edward Tufte (200, 39) points out, A graphical element may carry data information and also perform a design function usually left to non-data-ink. Bibliography and Reference pages have single-spaced entries with double-spacing between each entry. Table of Examples: Author-Date References Citations with Author(s) Single Author (Pacini 997, 40) (p. 790) Two or Three Authors (Smith and Ames 996, 42) (p. 790) More than Four or more (Zipursky et al. 997) (p. 79) Multiple References (Armstrong and Malacinski 989; Beigl 989; Pickett and White 985) (p. 800) or: Another example: (Wong 999, 328; Garcia 998, 67) Citations Without Author(s) Simply refer to your References List, and whatever the first words are in a given citation, use these words in the parenthetical citation. An example can be seen below: Reference: Writing Center, Chicago/Turabian Style The Writing Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In-Text Citation: (Writing Center 2005) Bibliography/References Page According to The Chicago Manual, the primary distinction between these two rest in whether or not the writer is using author-date references or foot/endnotes. As stated before, if the writer is using the author- Page should be used, and if foot or endnotes are used, then a Bibliography date system, a References is 4

5 needed. This is because reference pages only include sources cited directly in the paper, while a bibliography can include sources that are not necessarily cited but had an influence on the research. However, it is always important to check with your professor or editor. (**BIB= Bibliography Page; REF=References Page) BOOKS Book with One Author BIB: Fielding, Henry.
