Guide to the Chicago System of Referencing

(Foot)Notes & Bibliography Style

How to use this manual

The first part of this manual (pages 4-10) shows you how to cite references in the main body
of your essay. Read this carefully as it provides you with a range of examples on how citations
can be incorporated into your writing. The examples are indented and are of a smaller font to
distinguish them from the text of the manual.
The second part of the manual shows you how to compile the reference list at the end of your
essay. If you are using the colour version (recommended), you will see that the various
elements which make up the reference are depicted in different colours. This is to help you
distinguish these elements only. When you reference, however, you should use the same font,
size and colour as you use for the rest of your essay. The style, font and layout have been
approved by the Dyslexia Team in Student Services.
If you are using the interactive version, you can click on any one of the main items listed in the
contents (with the control key depressed) and this will take you directly to its place in the
manual.
This is a dynamic document. If you find examples we have not included, please contact
academicskills@winchester.ac.uk and we shall endeavour to make the appropriate additions
at the end of the current semester.

Introduction

Students are required to acknowledge the sources they use in their written assignments. This process
involves two steps:
a) A footnote citation where you include the full name and title and, in parenthesis, the place,
publisher and date of the work.
b) The final Bibliography is included on a separate page at the end of the essay. This is written
according to Chicago Referencing conventions. Interpretations of these conventions vary
across subject areas and other faculties, but are consistent with the University's
recommended referencing guidelines. Please study these conventions carefully and have this
document open when compiling your referencing list. References are not included in the
word count of your essay.

Why is referencing important?

Referencing to existing theories, policy initiatives, research findings etc. is an essential part of academic
writing and standard academic practice. It demonstrates the extent of your research and thereby reveals
your understanding of the range and type of thinking in any given area.
In short, references are used to:
• avoid plagiarism by acknowledging the source of an argument or idea
• help support your arguments and provide your writing with credibility
• enable the reader to locate the sources of your information
• show the full scope of your research.
If you fail to cite your sources, you can be accused of poor academic practice or even plagiarism.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is an act of cheating, defined as 'the verbatim or near-verbatim copying or paraphrasing,

without acknowledgement, from published or unpublished material attributable to, or which is the
intellectual property of another, including the work of other students' (University of Winchester
Academic Misconduct Policy, 2008:2).
You might be accused of plagiarism if you reproduce word-for-word or paraphrase sections from any
published or unpublished work without appropriate acknowledgement of your source. This includes
copying from another student's work. The penalties for plagiarism are severe, and you should familiarise
yourself with the Academic Misconduct Policy (which can be found in the Policies, Guidelines and
Regulations section on the University Intranet). You should aim to become proficient at using the Chicago
System as soon as possible.

Quality of Sources

To present an academically credible piece of work, you must use reputable sources. These will include
theoretical work accessed from books, journals and conference papers, some online sources (e.g. online
academic journals), policy documents produced by governments and professional bodies, legal
documents including Acts of Parliament, green papers and Hansard, academic research findings
presented in peer-reviewed publications, and where appropriate, media and personal sources.
Many seemingly ‘academic’ websites are not subject to the same degree of academic scrutiny as articles
and chapters published in books or journals; these websites can appear to offer useful sources of
evidence and lines of argument, but on closer scrutiny fail to comply with the academic conventions
(such as referencing) that are necessary to establish their academic authority. Such websites are not

University of Winchester 5
credible sources to cite in academic work, and the most obvious example is Wikipedia, which should
never be cited in academic work.

Quantity of Sources

The number of sources appropriate for any academic assignment depends on the type of assignment
set and factors such as:
• the subject
• the word length
• the level and depth of study
If in doubt about the appropriate quantity of references for an assignment, ask your tutor.

Section A: Footnoting

1 Conventions for integrating quotations into your writing

When you summarise, paraphrase or quote a source, you must always cite the original author in your
writing so that the reader is aware you are presenting or discussing another person’s ideas and not your
own.
To insert a footnote in Word, go to References and click Insert Footnote. Please note that the footnote
comes at the end of the sentence following the punctuation mark.

Erik Erikson stages the riddle of identity crisis in the play as one that hinges on Hamlet’s
always being ‘on the verge of slipping into the state [of madness] he pretends’.1

‘It was the feeling in the air’, Margaret explains to Sydney in Clemence Dane’s A Bill of
Divorcement. ‘They say the smell of blood sends horses crazy. That was the feel. One
did mad things’.2

For which the footnotes should read:

1. Erik Erikson, Identity: Youth and Crisis (London: Faber and Faber, 1983), 236-7.
2. Clemence Dane, ‘A Bill of Divorcement’, Recapture: A Clemence Dane Omnibus
(London: William Heinemann, 1932), 10.

And the bibliographic entries will be:

Dane, Clemence. Recapture: A Clemence Dane Omnibus. London: William Heinemann, 1932.
Erikson, Erik. Identity: Youth and Crisis. London: Faber and Faber, 1983.

1.1 Quoting

Quotations are the exact reproduction of the original author’s words and are the best way to engage
with an author’s ideas in your own work. Try to quote as much as possible in order to develop a fluid,
critical style of writing. Quoting enables you to
• present information by the original author that is highly significant and eloquently expressed
• avoid altering significantly the meaning of the original source (as can happen with
paraphrasing)
• and present the linguistic style of the original author.
6 University of Winchester
Quotations must be placed within single quotation marks followed by the footnote reference.

…a deep and lasting melancholia of the type described by Freud in which ‘the shadow
of the object fell upon the ego’.1

1. Sigmund Freud, ‘Mourning and Melancholia’, in The Standard Edition of the

Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud: Volume XIV (1914-1916), trans.
James Strachey (London: Vintage, 2001), 249.

For quotations taken from more than one page:

It is a grip on life that is to be found, Camus insists, ‘at the extreme limit of the
condemned man’s last thought, that shoelace that despite everything he sees a few
yards away, on the very brink of his dizzying fall. The contrary of suicide, in fact, is the
man condemned to death’.1

1. Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus, trans. Justin O’Brien (London: Penguin Books,
2005), 52-3.

Do not underline your direct quotation or put it in italic text. The latter is reserved for
publications. (See below.)

1.2 Summarising

A summary is an extract of the main points from an original source, restated in your own words where
possible, which presents the author’s main idea or argument only. It may be a summary of a passage of
text or whole chapter or work. Since the summary may cover an entire argument, page numbers might
not be necessary. However, if the summary covers a chapter, page ranges are required (e.g. pp. 12-29).
A bibliographic entry indicating the source is always required.

In The Culture of Defeat, Wolfgang Schivelbusch challenges the commonplace notion that
history is written by the victors, highlighting that more has been written by or about the
defeated, and that more has been learned by nations from defeat than by victory. In the
epilogue, in particular, Schivelbusch introduces the concept of ‘falling’ as a metaphor to
describe this process.1

1. Wolfgang Schivelbusch, The Culture of Defeat: On National Trauma, Mourning, and

Recovery, trans. Jefferson Chase (London: Granta Books, 2004), pp. 289-94.

Schivelbusch, Wolfgang. The Culture of Defeat: On National Trauma, Mourning, and Recovery,
translated by Jefferson Chase. London: Granta Books, 2004.

1.3 Paraphrasing

Paraphrasing is expressing another person’s ideas in your own words. It is more sophisticated than
summarising because it involves an element of interpretation, as you act as a mediator between the
original author and the reader. The more successful you are at paraphrasing, the more authoritative

University of Winchester 7
and compelling your writing will become. It is particularly useful when comparing the ideas of two
different authors in one sentence. A page number is always required when paraphrasing.

For David Thomson, this ‘riddling’ effect of the cinematic moment was often all one
had to cling to when leaving the picture houses of the 1970s.1

1. David Thomson, ‘The Decade When Movies Mattered’, in The Last Great American
Picture Show: New Hollywood Cinema in the 1970s, ed. Thomas Elsaesser, et al.
(Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press, 2004), 74.
When paraphrasing, you must use your own words as far as possible. The purpose of
paraphrasing is to enable you to more readily integrate sources’ ideas into your critical
writing, while still acknowledging intellectual property.

1.4 Publication titles

When referring to a book, journal, film or newspaper in your text, always write these in italics. Make
sure you capitalise the publication correctly.

Naisby refers to Every Child Matters in her work on …

In The Sunday Times, Martins reports that …

There now follow several conventions for including different types of quotations in your work. It is
important to comply with these requirements because they make both the structure and the content
of your argument more accessible, and also help you to avoid the pitfalls of unintended plagiarism.

1.5 Short Quotations – direct quotations of fewer than three lines

These should be incorporated into the text, enclosed by single quotation marks and then followed by
the appropriate citation.

Emmanuel Levinas describes the sudden experience of estrangement in and from the
familiar world in which ‘illuminated objects can appear to us as though in twilight
shapes. Like the unreal, invented city we find after an exhausting trip, things and beings
strike us as though they no longer composed a world, and were swimming in the chaos
of their existence’.1

1. Emmanuel Levinas, ‘There is: Existence without Existents’, in The Levinas Reader, ed.
Seán Hand (Oxford: Blackwell Publishing, 2005), 31.

1.6 Long Quotations – direct quotations of two sentences or more

Lengthy quotations should be used sparingly. Quotations of three lines or more should start on a new
line and be indented both sides by 1cm. Long quotations do not have quotations marks. You may use a
comma or colon at the end of the main body before starting the quotation if appropriate. Single line
spacing is acceptable for the long quotation.

Conrad concludes this point, however, in a far more ambivalent way:

8 University of Winchester
 For a moment I fancied myself a new man – a most exciting illusion. It clung to me for
some time, monstrous, half conviction and half hope as to its body, with an iridescent
tail of dreams and with a changeable head like a plastic mask. It was only later that I
perceived that in common with the rest of men nothing could deliver me from my fatal
consistency. We cannot escape from ourselves.1

In this passage, Conrad fancies himself a ‘new man’ but instead experiences…

1. Conrad, Joseph, Conrad’s Prefaces to His Works (London: Dent, 1937), 58-9.

1.7 Secondary quotations

When quoting from a source in which one author is quoting another, you must reference both the
original quote and the work from which you are quoting.

…that’s the main thing a director has to have,’ stated Frankenheimer himself, ‘a point of view’.1

1. John Frankenheimer, quoted in Gerald Pratley, The Cinema of John Frankenheimer

(London: A. Zwemmer Limited, 1969), 203.

1.8 Integrating quotations into your own writing

The more sophisticated you are at incorporating quotations into your own prose, the more fluent and
authoritative your writing will be. There are numerous phrase structures for introducing quotations.

Here are a number of examples:

Fitzgerald identifies a link Peters suggests In this context, Black

Strong and Overs found that According to Miles Jones claims that
Spinner et al. argue that Yates contends that Mellers illustrates this by
Maxwell refutes Smart’s claim As Davidson cites Vincent stated
Jackson supports this view Awad comments that Homer et al. make a link
Martin offers useful Freer et al. observed Parry reasoned that
Green describes the impact of Merryman asserts Harvey values the
Cly’s main argument that Fontwell has shown Harrison confirms that
... identified by Green and Megginson provides an Ever since Armon and Garing first
Grace as explanation for showed

Ensure you use the correct verb to introduce or explain your quotation. For example, one author may
'suggest' or 'imply', whereas another may 'infer' or 'deduce'. The latter has used deductive reasoning to
arrive at his statement. The former is more tentative in his assertions. One author may be commenting
or observing while another will be asserting or claiming. Make sure you select the correct verb for the
context.
It is important to be clear about the nuances of meaning within differing phrase structures. For example,
‘Lewis alleges….’ implies that you are not convinced by her argument and you should therefore follow

University of Winchester 9
with some reasoning as to why Lewis’s idea is an inadequate explanation, whereas ‘Jackson asserts…’
would suggest that you think Jackson’s idea has something worth considering, and you would follow
with a discussion of the implications of Jackson’s view.

2 Editing quotations

Quotations should normally be reproduced exactly from the original source. If you modify a quotation,
this must be acknowledged in one of the following ways:

2.1 Omitting sections of a quotation

If you omit a part within a quotation, either for brevity or to ensure that it fits easily into your sentence
structure, you must include three ellipses in points within square brackets to inform the reader.

In the 1990s it was noticed that ‘policy-makers turned to the school effectiveness and
improvement tradition for support, largely because its explanations […] were consistent
with their own assumptions’.1

2.2 Adding or changing words in a quotation

If you add or change words in a quotation to make its meaning clearer, these need to be identified by
square brackets. In this example ‘they’ is replaced by [students].

‘Because the information [students] were exposed to was contextualised by objects,

spaces, people and events, it made sense and could be remembered’.1

2.3 Highlighting errors/problems in an original source

Original errors in a quotation (such as incorrect spellings/terminology) and misunderstandings or

problematic details (such as erroneous or discredited assumptions) can be identified in your writing by
inserting [sic] (Latin for ‘thus’ or ‘so’) at the appropriate point in the quotation.

‘In endeavouring to solve the simple question of the education of idiots [sic] we had
found terms precise enough that it were only necessary to generalise them to obtain a
formula applicable to universal education’.1

3 Other conventions for footnote citations

Care should be taken with the following sources to ensure the relevant citation is given.

3.1 Figures, diagrams, tables and screen captures

Regardless of the creator of the figure, diagram or table you are referencing, you should cite the
author or editor of the work in which you found it. The citation is as that for a direct quotation and the
page number is included in the reference.

In Figure 1 Richard Maltby maps individual performances into a ‘table of oppositions’.1

1. Richard Maltby, Hollywood Cinema, 2nd ed. (Oxford: Blackwell Publishing, 2011),
389.

You may want to include the source medium in your citation, for example:

1. James Mason, Before I Forget (London: Hamish Hamilton, 1981), 4. Screen capture.

3.2 Page numbering

You are required to include a page number at the point of citation when you have included a direct
quotation. You should include a page number for a paraphrased quotation to help tutors find the
relevant page of the author’s work to ascertain if you have correctly interpreted the author’s views.

If you have included a direct quotation from an online source that has no page numbers you must
indicate that it is an online source, otherwise the marker may think you have omitted a page number.

In the next section, the citation examples may or may not include a page reference since it is unclear
from the information given whether the citation is referring to a direct quotation or not.

3.3 Quotations in languages other than English

Quotations in a language other than English may be included and shall normally be accompanied by an
English translation, with the exception of subjects where there is an expectation of knowledge of
primary languages, e.g. Greek and Latin for Biblical studies. In these cases, a translation is not
required. If unsure, please consult your Programme Leader.

Section B: A Guide to References in both the Footnotes and Bibliography

The full list of references should include only the sources that you have explicitly referenced in the
writing and should be presented on a new page at the end of your work. The references must be
arranged alphabetically by each author or editor’s last name, and each reference should start on a new
line. If there is no author, the name of the website or corporate body, for example, should be included
in the alphabetical sequence.

Where an author has several texts included in the same reference list, these should be presented in
chronological order if known.

Punctuation is important, please follow the guidelines below and punctuate the citations in your
reference lists consistently.

4.2-3 The Bible and the Torah

You will need for the citation:

• Book of the Bible
• Chapter: verse
Optional:
• (Version of the Holy Bible).

Type Reference
Footnote 2 Kings 11: 4
2 Kings 11: 4 (New Revised Standard Version).

When making references to Judaism, you should use The Torah or Tanakh. It is not appropriate to use
the term ‘Old Testament’ when writing on Judaism.
It is not normally necessary to reference The Bible in the reference list unless the version is of
particular relevance to your discussion. The same goes for the Torah which should be referenced in the
same manner as the Bible. The Qur’an (see below) is treated in a very similar fashion by Chicago as are
the Vedas and other sacred works.
Note that the books of the Bible and Torah are often abbreviated-for example Genesis to Gen. or
Hebrews to Heb.

4.4 The Qur'an

You will need for the citation:

• Qur’an (no italics)
• Surah/Chapter: verse

Type Reference
Footnote Qu’ran 19: 18.
