About Chicago style
The Chicago Manual of Style is often used to document sources for papers in the humanities (e.g. history, fine arts, and political science).
The purpose of documentation is to:
- Identify (cite) other people’s ideas and information used within your essay or term paper.
- Indicate the authors or sources of these in a Bibliography at the end of your paper.
The Chicago Manual of Style (16th ed.) recognizes two basic styles of citation. This guide is intended as a guideline for the Notes and Bibliography system only.
Be sure to check with your instructor to find out which citation style you should use for an assignment.
About Plagiarism
The best way to Avoid Plagiarism is to cite your sources.
“Plagiarism: The submission by a student of the writings, ideas or data of another individual as the student’s own in any essay or assignment. Avoid the consequences of plagiarism by giving proper references to your sources.”
