How does the Chicago style guide compare to APA?

The Chicago style guide and APA have different approaches to citation. Chicago is often used in humanities, while APA is preferred in social sciences.

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

Sure! In Chicago, a book citation looks like this: Last Name, First Name. Title of Book. Publisher, Year. In APA, it would be: Last Name, F. M. (Year). Title of Book. Publisher.

What about citing journal articles?

In Chicago, it would be: Last Name, First Name. "Title of Article." Title of Journal volume number (Year): page range. In APA, it’s: Last Name, F. M. (Year). Title of article. Title of Journal, volume number(issue number), page range.

Are there any specific formatting differences I should know about?

Yes, Chicago style often uses footnotes for citations, while APA uses in-text citations. Also, the title page format differs between the two.
