Chicago style is an "author-date" style, so the citation in the text consists of the author(s) name and year of publication given wholly or partly in round brackets. Use only the surname of the author(s) and the year of publication.
In Chicago style, when you don't just refer to an image but actually include it in your (research) paper, the image should be formatted as a figure. Place the figure before or after the first paragraph where it is mentioned. Refer to figures by their numbers in the text (e.g., “see fig. 1”).
Chicago style is USA (without periods), but we also accept both US and U.S. Other authoritative style manuals and dictionaries vary in their recommendations.

Chicago recommends punctuating a phrase that introduces a list as if the list were a continuation of a sentence begun by the introductory phrase. This holds true whether the list is run into the text or presented vertically: The items included bananas, pears, and grapes.
The Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) is most commonly used by those working in literature, history, and the arts. This resource, revised ing to the 17th edition of CMOS, offers examples for the general format of CMOS research papers, footnotes/endnotes, and the bibliography.

A note consist of two parts: A superscripted note number (1) in the text, placed at the end of a sentence or clause. A note containing the citation, placed either at the bottom of the page (footnote) or at the end of the paper (endnote).
Chicago uses a footnote citation system. In the text, a number in superscript1 is added after the information: Hall presents the awkwardness of conversations between a patient and doctor. The reference is then given in the footnote at the bottom of the page.
