Chicago Style
There are two chief concerns when it comes to citing and documenting material: accuracy and consistency. Whatever system of citation is used, a research writer must follow it closely and consistently.
The massively comprehensive Chicago Manual of Style provides full information both on an author-date system of citation that is similar to APA style, and to a traditional footnoting system. The latter is outlined below.
The Chicago Manual of Style now deals extensively with the citation of electronic materials; sensibly, it recognizes that practices in such areas are likely to remain to some extent "under construction," and the editors emphasize that rules "are meant for the average case, and must be applied with a certain degree of elasticity."
Please note that bibliography citations in the Chicago style should be indented after the first line, whereas the footnotes are not indented.
