Chicago Manual of Style

Chicago Style is used in both the humanities and social sciences and heavily in History. There are two documentation systems within Chicago Style: notes-bibliography and author-date. The notes-bibliography system is preferred by many in literature, history, and the arts. The author-date system is more precise and generally used by the physical, natural, and social sciences. Choosing which of these systems is most appropriate often depends on the subject matter and the type(s) of sources being cited.
