Chicago Manual of Style Citation Guide

• Include the page number of the citation in the notes, and the full page range in the bibliography
• Use a DOI (digital object identifier) as the preferred link to the article. If a DOI is unavailable, use the URL (uniform resource locator)
• Titles of journals should be italicized if referred to in the text. Example: Journal of the Institute for the Humanities
• If the article has eleven or more authors, list only the first author in the note, followed by et.al. In the bibliography, list the first seven, followed by et.al.
