Referencing: Chicago

This Guide contains or links to guidance for the main referencing styles used at JCU (including MLA, Chicago and AGLC, which are not stand-alone Guides), and general information about referencing.

Chicago Manual of Style

The Chicago Manual of Style has released the 18th Edition of the style manual in September 2024. Check with your lecturer which edition of the style you should be using.

Chicago has two formats for referencing: Notes and Bibliography (sometimes called Notes or Chicago A) and Author-Date (sometimes called Chicago B). Make sure you check which version of the style you should be using.

We acknowledge the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants of the nation and acknowledge Traditional Owners of the lands where our staff and students, live, learn and work.Acknowledgement of Country
