The Chicago Style was developed by the University of Chicago. It presents two basic documentation systems: notes-bibliography and author-date. Please check your unit guide to see which system is required.
In-text citation
Reference list
The reference list should be ordered alphabetically by the last name of the first author of each work. References with no author are ordered in the reference list alphabetically by the first significant word of the title.
