Chicago - webpage
Chicago (footnote & bibliography) style uses in-text citations, footnotes and a bibliography.
Check with your lecturer whether they require the full footnote and shortened footnote, or just the shortened footnote with your bibliography.
In-text citations
Add a superscript number in your text to show when you are using another person's ideas or words.
... as described by Cowan, this has only recently been identified.1
Footnotes
The in-text citation directs the reader to a note (footnote) at the bottom of the page. The footnote contains information about the source you are citing, include the page number(s) of the page/paragraph within the item you are referring to. When citing the same source again, use the shorter footnote formats.
Footnotes are placed in numerical order at the bottom of the page. On a new page, footnote numbering continues. In a new chapter, footnote numbering starts from 1.
See also: multiple works by the same author, one source cited in another, similar information from multiple works, abbreviations.
Bibliography
Add a full bibliography to the end of your essay. This is a list of all sources cited in your work (except personal communications), plus any appropriate background readings not cited, arranged alphabetically by the author's last name.
The first line of each reference should be aligned with the left margin. Second and subsequent lines should be indented three spaces (0.3cm).
Please see the Chicago Manual of Style (17th edition) if your work does not require a full bibliography.
Websites and Webpages can be described in the text e.g., "As of May 1, 2023, the World Health Organization's home page listed ...". If a formal citation is needed see the examples below.
For a source that does not list a date of publication, or update, include an access date.
