A Note about Chicago/Turabian Citations
Chicago has two systems of citation:
- The Notes & Bibliography system uses notes (footnotes, endnotes, or both) and a bibliography. It is used in history, literature, and the arts.
- The Author-Date system uses parenthetical references in the text and a bibliography. It is used in the sciences and social sciences.
At UMW, Notes & Bibliography is the more popular of the two systems, so some instructors may use "Chicago style" or "Chicago/Turabian" as shorthand for "Chicago Notes-Bibliography System." Consult your instructor as to which version of Chicago is preferred for your class.
