The Chicago Manual of Style offers two citation systems: notes-bibliography (NB) and author-date (AD). Many humanities dissertations use NB; many social sciences accept AD. Pick one system and stay consistent.
Citations appear as footnotes or endnotes with superscript numbers in text. Notes include full or shortened source forms depending on whether it is the first citation. A bibliography lists all sources alphabetically at the end.
Typical use: history, some education and religious studies, legal-adjacent writing, narrative-heavy qualitative theses.
Citations appear parenthetically in text: (Smith 2020, 45–46). Reference list entries resemble APA-like author-date entries but follow Chicago punctuation and capitalization rules.
Typical use: anthropology, parts of sociology when Chicago is required.
Use NB when:
Use AD when:
NB ends with Bibliography (often alphabetical by author).
AD ends with Reference list (alphabetical).
Do not mix NB footnotes with an APA-style reference list without explicit guidance.
Always confirm italics/quotation marks for titles against the current edition.
Long ethnographic excerpts may require block indentation per Chicago. If you reproduce participant dialogue, ensure consent and anonymization align with ethics; Chicago cares about accuracy and ellipsis ethics too.
A Manual for Writers aligns with Chicago but streamlines student work. Use Turabian when assigned; otherwise CMOS is authoritative.
