Chicago citation source summary

The source our group found for Chicago source citations was the Purdue Owl website, it gave us information on “The Chicago Manual of Style”. There are two major documentation styles used in the Chicago format of citation, the first being the “Notes-Bibliography System” which is used by scholars in history, art and literature. The second documentation style used is the “Author-Date System”, which is basically the same in terms of its content but slightly different in format and is mostly used for topics in social sciences. The Purdue Owl website also goes more in depth with the Chicago manual’s variety of topics, such as publication, manuscripts, grammar, and documentation, journalist have referred to this as the “editors’ bible.” The manual represents what is called the  “Turabian” citation style, named after Kate L. Turabian the renounced american educator,which follows the two “Chicago Manual of Style’s” patterns of documentation but offers slight improvements to student texts.
