referance

References are the most important part of every assignment or the dissertations that you provide to your professors and universities. It is considered to be vital because it helps the readers to locate the sources from where you have taken the information and materials for constructing your own work on a particular topic. References also helps to acknowledge the author whose work you have used to write your paper. Using the knowledge and information of another writer without acknowledging them in your piece of work can lead to the issues of intellectual dishonesty.

Therefore, to restrain any of such issue, it is important to put the references to the paper. One of the famous referencing styles that you may get to put in your work is the Chicago Referencing style. This type of citation style was created by Kate Turbian and is therefore also known as the Turabian citation and referencing style. This guide will outline the convection of the Chicago 17th Edition that can be used to put the references and citations in your piece of work.

Introduction to Chicago Reference Style

The latest 17th Edition of Chicago style or the Turabian Citation style includes the two different sets and systems for citing the referencing your work. These two are:

Notes and Bibliography System: The citations in this format are presented at the bottom of each page as the footnotes in your piece of work. These can also be termed as the endnotes of the assignment or the dissertations. Corresponding to this bibliography only, the citations are provided in the whole paper. One of the advantages of such this method is that the reader can easily locate the sources and its details while reading the paper only.

To create these footnotes, it is important to identify that information which is directly quoted in your own work or paraphrased with subscripted reference numbers. The reference numbers start from 1 and continue until all the references get over. 

Author-date: This type of referencing and citation is mostly used for subjects like science and social science. In this style, the references are cited in between the text-only and not in the footnotes or the endnotes. Each of the citations matches the corresponding reference of the reference list. The citation style follows the system of author name and the publication year.

Rules regarding In-text citations in Chicago Style

Throughout your text, it important for you to cite the references in your full text. Whenever you add a quotation or information in the paraphrased form, it is important to provide the source of that information using the In-text citation between your texts. In the case of the citations in the form of numbers, it can be done with the corresponding references. In the case of commas and the full stops, the citation is done at its right while in the case of colon and semi-colons, the numbered citations are done at its left.

Footnotes:

The full information about the source is given in the bibliography, therefore in case of the footnotes, a shortened form can be provided. This shortened form consists of the last name of the author, the title of the document or the source (in case the title long provides a short title in just 4 words only) and the page or page number.

Example of footnotes page of an assignment or a dissertation:

  1. Ninlen, Management Team, 56.
  2. Tornal, How teams work, 06.
  3. Ninlen, Management Team, 67.
  4. Aemen, Teams and leader, 101.
  5. Ninlen, Management Team, 31.
  6. Ibid., 120.

Note: The above box represents the footnotes section of a page of your assignment or the dissertations. The citation Ninlen is repeated in the 11, 13 and 15 as that of the sequence in the citations. The abbreviation Ibid is used when a reference is cited in the footnote immediately preceding as that of the footnote 16. If you have cited more than one reference then you can just need to simply put them together using just a single number. To separate every reference, the semi-colon can be used. 

Example

  1. Tornal, How teams work, 06; organizational teamwork, 96.

Bibliography

In the Chicago style, the full details about the source are provided under the broad heading of Bibliography. It is important to provide the bibliography to your piece of work so that the reader can know the source from where you have the information for writing your assignment or the dissertations. It can also contain those sources which you have not cited in your paper but have referred to in writing your paper. General rules regarding bibliography are:

  • All the sources in the bibliography must start with the last name or the surname of the author.
  • The list of sources in the bibliography must be arranged in alphabetical order.
  • The bibliography list should be doubled spaced.
  • The bibliography list should have the hanging indents.
  • The titles of the books should be in italics whereas the article and the chapter title should not be in italics.
