Chicago Referencing Style vs. APA

What are the main differences between Chicago referencing style and APA?

The Chicago style is often used in humanities, while APA is common in social sciences. Chicago has two systems: notes and bibliography, and author-date. APA focuses on the author-date citation format.

Can you give me examples of how to cite a book in both styles?

Sure! In Chicago, it would be: Last Name, First Name. Title of Book. Place of Publication: Publisher, Year. In APA, it would be: Last Name, First Initial. (Year). Title of Book. Publisher.

What about citing journal articles?

In Chicago, you would cite it as: Last Name, First Name. "Title of Article." Title of Journal volume number (Year): page range. In APA, it would be: Last Name, First Initial. (Year). Title of article. Title of Journal, volume number(issue number), page range.

Which style is preferred in academic writing?

It depends on the discipline. Chicago is preferred in history and literature, while APA is favored in psychology and education.
