Tarrant County College Libraries HOW TO DOCUMENT SOURCES IN CHICAGO STYLE
(CMS 17TH ED.; Notes and Bibliography) This guide provides information regarding frequently cited sources using the Chicago Manual of Style published by the University of Chicago Press. The examples included here are formatted in the notes and bibliography system of source citation. For information regarding the parenthetical author-date system of source citation, please refer to chapter 15 of the Chicago Manual of Style. The instructor for your class is the final authority on how to format your citations.
NOTES AND BIBLIOGRAPHY OVERVIEW
The notes and supplemental bibliography provide the information necessary for your reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the body of your paper. Note numbers are written consecutively in the text of your paper and set as raised (superscript) numbers. You should include a note number each time you quote, paraphrase, or summarize a source. Each note reference number should correspond to a footnote (at the bottom of the page) or an endnote (at the end of a section of a paper). Footnotes and endnotes should include full publication details the first time you mention a source. Subsequent uses of the same source should have a condensed note.
1. Erin E. Murphy, Inside the Cell: The Dark Side of Forensic DNA (New York: Nation Books, 2015), 51-52.
Subsequent uses of the same source should have a shortened form consisting of the last name of the author, a shortened title (if the full title is more than 4 words), and page numbers. The shortened title should contain 1-3 key words from the main title as follows:
2. Murphy, Inside the Cell, 74.
The bibliography provides an alphabetical list of all the sources you used to prepare the paper. The bibliography is written on its own page at the end of your paper. Center the title “Bibliography” at the top and leave two blank lines before the first entry. In each bibliography entry, elements are separated by periods rather than commas and the first author’s name is inverted. The bibliography is single-spaced, but you should leave one blank line between entries.

List the author first, followed by the title, publication facts, and the relevant page number(s). Use commas to separate most elements of a note and enclose publication details in parentheses. Use periods to separate elements of the bibliography entry.
• Author: Write the author’s name in standard order (first name then last name) for the note. Invert the first author’s name for each bibliography entry. Use the full first name or initials as they appear on the source itself. When listing a source with two or three authors, separate the names of authors with commas and use “and” before the last author.
• Title: Italicize the titles of books. Put titles of articles or chapters in quotation marks. Titles are capitalized according to headline style.
• Publisher’s Location, Name, and Date (in parentheses for notes only): List the city that appears on the title page. Omit state abbreviations unless the city may be confused with another city of the same name. Place a colon after the location. Use the full name of the publisher, but abbreviations such as Inc., Ltd., or Co. may be omitted.
• Page Numbers: In the notes only, provide the page number(s) for the passage you quoted, summarized, or paraphrased. Do not include the p. or pp. abbreviations. Page numbers are usually not used in the bibliography.
In the examples below, footnotes are numbered and use a half-inch, first-line indent. Bibliography entries use the hanging indent and are not numbered.
