Chicago style is a kind of referencing that students are allotted to cite original sources in a document. Citation is giving rights to the original owner to avoid plagiarism which can help the reader refer to the original site. However, learning one particular citation style is not enough, as they all have different rules.
Today we are going to focus on the citation style of Chicago, so let us start with the guidelines:
Let us start with how you write the title when using the Chicago style
In Chicago styles, how you use the author’s name based on the context changes.
In general, you write the last name of the author along with the year of publication within parentheses and no commas in between.
(Johns 1998)
However, if you are quoting a particular statement or using a text, you must also mention the page numbers. Here, the publication date is followed by the page number with a dash in between to state the beginning and end of the page for more clarity for the readers.
(Johns 1998. 25-26)
If there is more than one author, all of them are enlisted in the same parenthesis, separated by semicolon in between
(Johns 1998; Smith 2001)
There are also instances where the author’s name is used in the text; in such cases, only the year is enlisted.
Johns (1998) found the evidence through chromatography experiments.
If the name is used for quoting, the page number is listed at the end of the sentences.
Johns (1998) stated, “All plants have DNA” (45-48)
When creating a reference list, the last name of the author, along with the year of publication, followed by the name of the article, is mentioned:
Johns 1998. Protein analysis on plant DNA
The author’s name and the kind of material cited also keep changing which changes the rules
In the case of journals, the author’s last name is followed by the first name. Year. Article title. Publication date.
In the case of a website, the author’s last name is the first name. Page. Title. Website link
In the case of books, the author’s last name, first name, year, chapter title, book title, editor’s first name, and last name. Page number. Place of peculation, publisher
Just in case, if there is no date mentioned, then this is how you cite the sources:
John’s n. d. Protein analysis on plant DNA (n .d stands for no date)
If you are using multiple pieces of information from the same source, meaning they have the same authors, then you need to differentiate them using different alphabets like a, b, c, etc.
For example, John’s 1998a protein analysis on plant DNA
John’s1998b Protein analysis on plant DNA
