For college-level students, remembering how to properly provide citations in research papers can be a cumbersome task - especially as students toggle between different citation styles for different disciplines. The Chicago Manual of Style has served as a guide for generations of writers and includes two different methods of in-text citation: a notes and bibliography style and an author-date style. The former is generally employed in humanities and history courses; the latter is more common in natural and social sciences. Fortunately for students and instructors, the Chicago Manual of Style Online offers this helpful Quick Guide, allowing students to explore examples of how to cite a variety of sources in each format. Here, writers can quickly and easily learn how to cite a translated text, an electronically published book, a book review, a website, and other sources. Have a citation question that is not answered here? The complete Chicago Manual of Style is also accessible from this site, along with a helpful Chicago Style Q&A section.
