The Chicago Manual of Style allows for two different types of reference styles:
the Author-Date System and the
Documentary-Note (or Humanities) Style. Traditionally, those in
the humanities and social sciences use the Documentary-Note Style, and those in the
sciences use the Author-Date System. Examples of both are below. To see
more examples of different types of materials and the way to cite them,
please see either chapter 17 in the print version or consult the guide to
Chicago
Documentation at The Writing Center at University of
Wisconsin-Madison.
