Notes |
|
1. Your computer's word-processing software should allow you to insert note superscripts that are linked to the notes themselves. If your book has more than a few footnotes or endnotes, be sure to use this "Insert" feature rather than handling superscripts and notes separately. Among the advantages is that you can add or delete a note without having to renumber subsequent notes.
2. Notes should be reasonably close to the style advocated in the fifteenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2003).
3. The Chicago Manual of Style Online provides a handy Chicago-Style Citation Quick Guide that covers almost all the various footnote and bibliographical situations you are likely to encounter and provides clear examples of how to cite them properly. Click here to access it: Chicago-Style Citation QuickGuide.
The style is basically as follows for books:
1. John M. Frame, No Other God: A Response to Open Theism (Phillipsburg, N.J.: P&R Publishing, 2001), 21.
For articles from journals paginated consecutively throughout the volume, the form is:
2. Simon J. Kistemaker, "The Temple in the Apocalypse," Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society 43 (2000): 434.
Other options for the end of this entry are:
43, no. 3 (2000): 434. [optional issue number added]
43 (3) (2000): 434. [optional issue number shown differently]
43, 3 (2000): 434. [optional issue number shown differently]
43 (September 2000): 434. [optional month added]
But if the journal were not paginated consecutively from one issue to the next in each volume (43), the issue number (3) or the month would be necessary:
43, no. 3 (2000): 50.
43 (3) (2000): 50.
43, 3 (2000): 50.
43 (September 2000): 50.
3. The next (but not immediately following) reference to the same source in the same chapter should use the author's last name and a short title. Avoid op. cit.
3. Frame, No Other God, 8.
4. Kistemaker, "Temple in the Apocalypse," 438.
4. Use ibid. (but do not italicize it) for the same source as the immediately preceding one.
5. Ibid., 439.
5. Avoid the use of ff.; cite specific pages, such as 435-41.
