How to Reference Different Types of Sources in Footnotes
- Footnotes are the preferred citation method for the Chicago/Turabian Notes and Bibliography citation style.
- These footnotes guide the reader to the corresponding entry in your bibliography.
- Different types of source require different citation information, but they always follow the form of: author, title, publication information, and then either page number or website URL (all separated by commas).
- And remember, this information will also be contained, in a slightly different form, in your bibliography.

Chicago/Turabian (NB): Footnotes and Endnotes
- In Chicago/Turabian Notes and Bibliography style, use footnotes or endnotes for citing sources in text.
- Fuller information about that source is then contained in the paper's bibliography.
- Think of the footnote as telling the reader where to go in your bibliography to find the source, and the bibliography entry as telling the reader where to go in the real world to find the source.
- In the note, you will have the author's name, the title of the work, the publication information, and the page number:
- If you cite this source again later in the paper (say, in your sixth note), you would simply write the author, title, and page number, separated by commas:

Overall Structure and Formatting of a Chicago/Turabian Paper
- All text in your paper should be double-spaced except for block quotations and image captions.
- All page margins (top, bottom, left, and right) should be at least 1 inch and no more than 1.5 inches.
- The first line of every paragraph and footnote should be indented 0.5 inches.
- The UK includes the countries of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
- However, it's a requirement in Chicago style, so double-check all your lists and series to make sure you include it!

When to Use Chicago/Turabian Style
- Chicago style is a citation and formatting style you may encounter in your academic career.
- It is used by most historical journals and some social science publications.
- It allows the mixing of formats, provided that the result is clear and consistent.
- The most recent edition of The Chicago Manual of Style permits the use of both in-text citation systems ("Author–Date" style, which is usually used in the social sciences) or footnotes and endnotes (this is called "Notes and bibliography" style, which is usually used in the humanities).
- It can give information about in-text citation by page number or by year of publication; it even provides for variations in styles of footnotes and endnotes, depending on whether the paper includes a full bibliography at the end.

Maintaining an Annotated Bibliography
- An annotated bibliography is a list of all your sources, including full citation information and notes on how you will use the sources.
- An annotated bibliography is a list of all the sources you have researched, including both their full bibliographic citations and some notes on how you might want to use each resource in your work.
- Annotated bibliographies are useful for several reasons.
- Then explain if the source is credible, and note any potential bias you observe.
- Annotated bibliographies include notes that explain what you found useful in each source, making it easier for you to refer back to appropriate sources later.

Chicago/Turabian (NB): The Bibliography Section
- In Chicago/Turabian papers using the Notes and Bibliography (NB) citation system, all the sources you cite throughout the text of your paper are listed together and in full in the bibliography, which comes after the main text of your paper.
- On the first line, the title of the page—“Bibliography”—should appear centered and not italicized or bolded.
- Note that even though Chicago style says that the article title should not be italicized, the book titles within the article title are still italicized.
- Finally, list the page numbers of the article, followed by a period [note that the dash between the first and second numbers is an en-dash (–), NOT a hyphen (-) or em-dash (—)]:

Research Tips: Start Early, Use a Bibliography, and Evaluate Material Critically
- Start the research process early, consult a bibliography to find credible sources, and evaluate those sources critically.
- Mark Twain once said, "It usually takes me more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech. " If it took that long for Mark Twain, one of the most eloquent speakers in American history, to write a "good impromptu speech," students of public speaking should take note and get a nice, early start on the research process.
- Bibliographies compile publication information about books, articles, and other resources that address a particular topic.
- However, if the bibliography is old, or if you need the most current information about your topic, you should fill the gap between the end of the bibliography and the present time by looking for articles and books from that time period.
- Explain why starting research early, using a bibliography, and evaluating material critically is crucial to the research process
