Tips for this reference type

  • For articles with more than one author, consult the About Chicago A page.
  • Examples of book reviews in journals are provided at Manual 14.100.
  • Examples of movie, performance, or television reviews in journals are provided at Manual 14.101.
  • For articles consulted in print, omit the DOI, URL or database name from your citation.
  • 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).
  • 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 bibliography entry (Manual 14.73).
  • Some online articles may not have page numbers.
  • 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.
