Used in: Humanities and Social Sciences
The Chicago Manual of Style offers two very different methods of citation: the notes and bibliography system and the author-date system. The notes and bibliography system is preferred by many working in the humanities, including literature, history, and the arts. The author-date system is generally used in the social sciences. You should always check with your instructor or publisher to find out which style you should use.
For more information about these two different systems, see: Notes and Bibliography or Author-Date?
