Chapter 1

• Because Chicago is geared towards the author
  rather than the college student, there is no real
  section on how what to include on the title page
  of a paper

  verso pages of books

• Title
• Subtitle
• Authors name
• Date

• Periods and commas go inside ending quotes, even
  if not in the quoted material, . or ,

  exclamation points
• All the above go outside closing quotes UNLESS
  part of the quotation, ! Or ? Or or

  parentheses or brackets

  before parentheses. Always put outside the ending
  parenthetical

  the period for the abbreviation doubles as the
  period too

6
Chapter 7

• 7.7 Alternative plurals
• If the dictionary you use (Webster being
  preferred) provides two ways to plural a word,
  Chicago opts for the first
• 7.31 Contractions
• Nothing fancy or unusual about these in Chicago
• (Just remember, they are not acceptable in an
  academic paper)
• 7.49 Italics for emphasis, 7.58 Scare quotes
• To emphasis a word or short phrase with either
  italics or quotes, do so sparingly

• If you use in-text citations, you will need to

  will look similar to APA format)
• If you use notes, you will call your work cited
  list, Bibliography (these will look similar to
  MLA format)

Chapter 16

• 16.21 Footnotes Virtues
• Readers of scholarly works usually prefer
  footnotes for ease of reference.
• 16.22 Footnotes Vices
• In a work containing many long footnotes, it may
  be difficult to fit them onto the pages they
  pertain toThere is also the matter of
  appearance a page consisting almost exclusively
  of footnotes is daunting.

• 16.23 Endnotes Virtues
• Endnotes obviate many of the disadvantages of
  footnotes...Since general readers may be
  disappointed to find a third or more of a book
  devoted to endnotes, authors should aim for a
  healthy balance between text and notes.
• 16.24 Endnotes Vices
• The difficulty of finding a particular note is
  the main problem with endnotes.

10
Chapter 16

• 16.30 Placement of number
• You can place the number either after the period
  of a sentence (including quotes, or parenthesis),
  or after any punctuation (except a dash) within a
  sentence

• 16.37 Several citations in one note
• This is of course permissible, however, be sure
  to put a semicolon between each citation
• The citations should match in order the material
  you are referencing in your sentence/clause

11
Chapter 16

• 16.39 Abbreviations
• If you are citing a source multiply times in your
  paper, at the end of the first citation, put in
  parenthesis how you will be abbreviating that
  source henceforth
• Normally the abbreviated citation will be the
  authors last name, the title of the work, and a
  page number

• 16.47 Ibid.
• Good news! In Chicago, ibid is acceptable,
  however, only if you are citing the same source
  consecutively (see 16.62 for the problems of ibid
  in endnotes)
• You can write
• Ibid., 2-4.
• Ibid., 36.

12
Chapter 16

• 16.52 Citations plus commentary
• If you are including further information that
  does not fit into the context of your sentence or
  the paper, but is interesting, create your
  citation period your further information
• 16.107-16.120 in-text citations
• It is always best to give the most complete
  information possible. Here are several examples
  from the book
• (Pacini 1997)
• (Piaget 1980, 74)
• (Garcia 1987, vol. 2)
• (Zipursky, Smith, et al., Giant snails, 1997)
