Copies of this manual can be found in most academic libraries and are available for sale at
university bookstores.

Please refer to the Chicago Manual of Style Online or the Chicago-Style Citation Quick Guide
for many additional examples of citing di erent types of materials.

Please contact the library if you have any citation-related questions.

Some General Rules

Which Style?

APA, MLA and Chicago
There are three major styles used when citing works—American Psychological Association (APA)
style, Modern Language Association (MLA) style and the style taken from the Chicago Manual of
Style (for the purpose of this guide will be referred to as Chicago). APA is the preferred style for
social sciences such as business, psychology, and sociology. MLA is the preferred style for
humanities-related areas such as literature. Chicago is the preferred style for history and the
publishing industry.

Be aware that all students in UMUC's Graduate School of Management & Technology must use
the APA style of citation.

Chicago Style
The Chicago style allows for two di erent types of reference styles: the Author-Date System and
the Documentary-Note (or Humanities) Style. Traditionally, those in the humanities and social
sciences (including history) use the Documentary-Note Style, and those in the sciences use the
Author-Date System. Below are guidelines for citing Web-based resources as notes in the
Documentary-Note Style.

Turabian Style
Turabian style is often mentioned in conjunction with the Chicago style. Turabian is a simpli ed
version of the Chicago style and was developed speci cally for students who are writing papers,
unlike Chicago, which was originally developed for publishers. Turabian is the popular name of
the writing style. (The full title of the handbook is A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and
Dissertations, but it is usually referred to by the last name of its author, Kate L. Turabian, who
developed it for the University of Chicago). See the Turabian Quick Guide for many additional
examples of citing di erent types of materials. Please note that UMUC uses Chicago style, not
Turabian.

Bibliography and Reference Lists

If a bibliography or reference list is required, the format for the bibliography or reference
list di ers from notes in the following ways: authors' names are inverted, the citations are
listed alphabetically by author's last name (by title if no author), elements of entries are
separated by periods not commas, the rst line of each entry is ush with the left margin,
and subsequent lines are indented three or four spaces.

Note Numbers

The number of the citation. In Chicago Documentary-Note style, citation notes are listed
numerically.

Ibid. (Latin, short for ibidem, meaning "the same place")

The rst time a source is cited, give the complete information as in the above example.
However, for the second and next consecutive reference to the same source (with the
same page number) use Ibid. If the reference is the same, but the page is not, add the
page number, like this: Ibid., 44.

For subsequent reference to the same source, but later in the paper, use an abbreviated
version of the reference, using the author's last name, a shortened version of the title, and
the page number. For example: Deans, Kroeger, and Zeisel, HBR, 21.

Article title—The title of the article. In notes they are usually capitalized headline
style and put in quotation marks; in reference lists they are usually capitalized
sentence style, without quotation marks.

published. The journal title should be italicized and capitalized headline style in notes

case, cite a speci c page number and separate by a comma, not a colon.

Pagination—In notes, only speci c pages need be cited (Unless the article as a whole
is referred to). Use start and end pages, if provided (e.g. 60–79)in reference lists.

URL, use that, if not use the database name and document ID or accession number.
