CHICAGO STYLE

Author-Date System (in-text parenthetical references)

The 15 edition of the Chicago Manual of Style presents two basic systems of documentationthe notes and bibliography system, also known as the humanities style, and the author-date system. This guide provides examples according to the author-date system. A separate guide is available for the notes and bibliography system. Ask your professor if you are unsure which system to use. th For each example given below, the section number to the relevant passage(s) in the 15 edition of the Chicago Manual of Style is provided. Two copies of the print book are available on Reserves (Z 253 U69 2003) and may be checked out for brief periods of time. Chicago style is also th outlined in Turabians Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 7 edition, which is available in the reference section of the library (LB 2369 T8 2007 Reference).

Placement of In-text Citations: Author-date citations usually are placed just before a punctuation mark (section 16.112). Social scientists propose various solutions, including better police training (Smith 2001, 47), community awareness projects (Arthur 2004, 21), and earlier family intervention (Casey 2000, 112). If the authors name is mentioned in the text, it is not necessary to repeat it in the parenthetical citation (section 16.112). Smith (2001, 48) argues that current training programs for police officers are too short and too superficial to make much of a difference. Preparing Your Reference List: The reference list must include an entry for every text citation (section 16.107). Entries are arranged alphabetically by last name of author. When there are two or more works by the same author, order the entries for that author chronologically by year of publication, with earlier dates coming first (section 16.103).
