Author full name, Book Title: Subtitle, edition. (Place of publication: Publisher, Year), page numbers, URL. Author last name, Shortened Book Title, page number(s). When citing a chapter from a multi-authored book, start with details of the chapter, followed by details of the book.
In the author-date style, in-text references contain the name of the author(s), the year of publication of the document, and page number if applicable. Enclose the name and year in parenthesis. Leave a space between name and year. No punctuation is necessary.
Chicago doesn't require a specific font or font size, but recommends using something simple and readable (e.g., 12 pt. Times New Roman). Use margins of at least 1 inch on all sides of the page. The main text should be double-spaced, and each new paragraph should begin with a ½ inch indent.
APA (American Psychological Association) is used by Education, Psychology, and Sciences. MLA (Modern Language Association) style is used by the Humanities. Chicago/Turabian style is generally used by Business, History, and the Fine Arts.
Paraphrasing. Even if you put information in your own words by summarizing or paraphrasing, you must still use a footnote just as you would with a direct quotation. All the information required in the footnote for a paraphrased sentence is the same as if you were using a direct quotation.
In-text (parenthetical citations) using the author-date style usually contain the author's name and publication year of the reference and page number. If authorship is uncertain use the title of the source followed by the date (The Chicago Manual of Style 2017, 908).

How to Format a Chicago-style Paper One inch margins on sides, top and bottom. Use Times or Times New Roman 12 pt font. Double-space the text of the paper. Use left-justified text, which will have a ragged right edge. Use a 1/2" indent for paragraph beginnings, block quotes and hanging (bibliography) indents.
