Chicago Referencing

The Chicago referencing style can be used to cite using either footnotes or in-text citations.

See the guides below for online and physical guides for using Chicago referencing: 


Attributing in Chicago Style

If you are reprinting or adapting third-party materials in your work (whether it be published or for a university assignment) such as images, figures, or tables, you need to include an attribution statement.

Various sections of the Chicago Manual of Style cover how to correctly attribute copyrighted material within your work.

In Chicago style, copyright attribution statements are provided within a credit line, usually appearing underneath the figure or image, or in an unnumbered footnote on the corresponding page. If the work being credited is listed in the bibliography or reference list, only a shortened form need appear in the credit line.

For more information, please see section 3.32 of the Chicago Manual of Style.
