The Chicago Manual of Style sets the standard for scholarly publishing in the Humanities. Chicago offers two citation formats, the author-date reference format and the standard bibliographic format, each of which provides conventions for organizing footnotes or endnotes, as well as bibliographic citations.

Citing sources and creating a Bibliography/Works Cited List:

• ​​​​Gives credit to the author(s)

• Illustrates your ability to locate & evaluate appropriate sources

• Provides evidence for the arguments and conclusions in your paper

• Prevents plagarism and copyright infringement
