Tips for this reference type

  • See Manual 13.26.
  • For articles with more than one author, consult the About Chicago A page.
  • Reference list entries include the volume and issue numbers and the publication date. If a journal is paginated consecutively across a volume or if the month or season appears with the year, the issue number may be omitted.
  • Additional information beyond volume and issue (for instance a season or month) may be included in parentheses after the issue number.
  • Advice on alternative page numbering can be found at Manual 14.71.
  • For articles consulted online, the preference is to include a DOI or stable URL. Sometimes a suitable URL will not be available, or will be restricted to subscribers to the database. In these cases, it is appropriate to list the name of the database used (Manual 14.72).
  • For articles consulted in print, omit the DOI, URL or database name from your citation.
  • Access dates are generally not required by Chicago in citations of formally published electronic sources, however if an access date is required (by publisher or discipline) it should immediately precede the URL, separated from the surrounding citation by commas in a note and periods in a reference list entry (Manual 14.73).
