What are the differences between the Chicago referencing styles?

The Chicago Manual of Style has two main systems: Notes and Bibliography, and Author-Date. The first is often used in humanities, while the second is common in sciences.

Can you give me an example of each style?

Sure! In the Notes and Bibliography style, a book citation might look like this: John Smith, The History of Chicago (Chicago: University Press, 2020). In Author-Date, it would be: Smith (2020) discusses the history of Chicago.

Are there specific rules for citing online sources?

Yes, for online sources, you typically include the author, title, publication date, and URL. For example, in Notes and Bibliography: John Doe, "Understanding Chicago Style," last modified January 1, 2021, http://example.com.

What about citing articles from journals?

In the Notes and Bibliography style, you would cite it like this: Jane Doe, "Research Trends in Chicago Style," Journal of Style Studies 12, no. 3 (2021): 45-67. In Author-Date, it would be: Doe (2021) discusses research trends.
