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. 

For information about when to use a full note or a shortened note and what to include in your bibliography, please refer to the overview section in this guide about the Notes & Bibliography System. 

We have provided some examples below, and you can find more examples in the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) Online Quick Guide or the full section of the chapter for journal articles.

For one to three authors, list all names in the notes and bibliography.
