Welcome to the Chicago style manual workshop.
- 00:03 - 00:07
I'll refer to C MS as Chicago style manual,
- 00:07 - 00:10
Chicago Manual of Style and C MS throughout this presentation.
- 00:11 - 00:16
First of all, what is C MS C MS stands for Chicago Manual of Style.
- 00:16 - 00:17
It was made originally for a
- 00:17 - 00:18
books and journals.
- 00:20 - 00:25
Chicago notes and bibliographies is a type of C MS style that's used in literature,
- 00:25 - 00:26
history and the arts.
- 00:26 - 00:27
Chicago author date
- 00:27 - 00:31
is AC MS style that is preferred by social sciences.
- 00:34 - 00:35
As you'll see here,
- 00:35 - 00:40
they both include a title page with a title author, info, class info.
- 00:40 - 00:41
The professor's name and date.
- 00:42 - 00:43
Both styles will
- 00:43 - 00:46
include preferred fonts of times to Roman or
- 00:46 - 00:49
Palacio 12 point maximum 10 point minimum,
- 00:49 - 00:52
usually 12 point times the Roman works just fine.
- 00:53 - 00:55
You'll double space, all font except for block quotes,
- 00:55 - 00:57
table titles and figure captions.
- 00:57 - 01:01
You may include an annotated bibliography at the professor's request.
- 01:01 - 01:04
So you wanna ask your professor if you need one,
- 01:05 - 01:08
as we can see, there's a few differences between the two
- 01:09 - 01:12
for the most part author date style and C
- 01:12 - 01:15
MS will have Intex citations with the author's name,
- 01:15 - 01:18
date and page number and we'll have a reference page
- 01:19 - 01:23
for C MS, notes and bibliographies. You'll have notes
- 01:23 - 01:25
to cite sources and provide comments,
- 01:26 - 01:29
notes will be super scripted, which will go over what that is later.
- 01:29 - 01:32
You'll include a footnote at the bottom of the page.
- 01:32 - 01:35
You'll include a bibliography page as opposed to a reference page.
- 01:36 - 01:39
I go all over all those details later on in the presentation.
- 01:42 - 01:43
So title page,
- 01:43 - 01:45
as we can see here, the title page
- 01:45 - 01:48
is 10-12.font.
- 01:48 - 01:53
It will be capitalized centered and start a third of the way down the page.
- 01:53 - 01:57
A few lines down, you'll have your author's name, which would be your name.
- 01:57 - 02:00
You'll have the professor's name,
- 02:00 - 02:03
you'll have the class information and you'll have the date
- 02:04 - 02:05
as we see here.
- 02:07 - 02:12
So heading styles check with your professor if you need heading styles, if you do,
- 02:12 - 02:14
they might say you only need a level one heading,
- 02:14 - 02:17
they might say have headings up to 1 to 3.
- 02:18 - 02:21
Um So just check to see if you need any.
- 02:21 - 02:22
There's a good chance you may not need
- 02:22 - 02:24
any headings at all throughout your whole paper.
- 02:25 - 02:25
In
- 02:25 - 02:27
which case, that's less work for you.
- 02:27 - 02:30
If you need headings, here's how the headings look.
- 02:30 - 02:34
Not that for example, level one headings are centered, bold face
- 02:34 - 02:35
or italic.
- 02:36 - 02:36
Um
- 02:37 - 02:39
and they uh have capitalization
- 02:40 - 02:43
as we see in the bottom here with uh
- 02:43 - 02:47
contemporary literature as an example for a level one heading
- 02:51 - 02:53
Intex citations.
- 02:53 - 02:54
So before we go into
- 02:55 - 02:57
uh citations, we should note
- 02:57 - 03:01
that paper for the most part should be double spaced except for block quotes,
- 03:01 - 03:03
table titles and figure captions,
- 03:04 - 03:06
10 or 12 point times a Roman or Palacio
- 03:06 - 03:07
font.
- 03:08 - 03:13
So for citations, when you're working on C MS notes and bibliographies,
- 03:13 - 03:15
as we can see here, you have
- 03:15 - 03:19
at the end of every paraphrase or quote, you have a note
- 03:19 - 03:20
here.
- 03:20 - 03:22
The note is super scripted
- 03:23 - 03:25
as we can see it's raised
- 03:26 - 03:28
and we have a matching
- 03:29 - 03:31
a footnote at the bottom of the page.
- 03:31 - 03:36
See that both the uh note in footnote are labeled one
- 03:36 - 03:40
because they are the first note in footnote pair.
- 03:40 - 03:41
Um
- 03:42 - 03:42
So,
- 03:43 - 03:44
and here we have two
- 03:45 - 03:46
and two
- 03:46 - 03:47
for
- 03:47 - 03:50
our other example. So as we can see,
- 03:50 - 03:52
uh with every
- 03:53 - 03:54
note, there's a matching footnote,
- 03:54 - 03:56
the footnote at the bottom of the page
- 03:56 - 03:58
will have all your information about your source.
- 03:58 - 04:01
And we will refer to the specific page range
- 04:01 - 04:02
that
- 04:03 - 04:05
your quote paraphrase is referring to
- 04:09 - 04:12
for C MS author date Intex citations.
- 04:12 - 04:15
Uh They look a lot like how you might
- 04:15 - 04:16
cite in
- 04:17 - 04:22
M L A or A P A. Essentially, you'll have the name of the authors
- 04:23 - 04:27
uh mentioned either in the signal phrase or at the end of the citation
- 04:27 - 04:29
in the parentheses,
- 04:29 - 04:31
you'll also have the year
- 04:31 - 04:33
and the page numbers. If there are page numbers.
- 04:34 - 04:36
Uh there's multiple examples on
- 04:37 - 04:41
this sample page as well as examples to the left of the sample page.
- 04:42 - 04:45
For example, these will be my famous last words.
- 04:45 - 04:50
We have the year 2023 page 12 and Gregory Smith mentioned before the quote,
- 04:51 - 04:53
whereas we have the same quote again
- 04:53 - 04:54
underneath it
- 04:54 - 04:57
um where we have there will be,
- 04:57 - 05:01
these will be my famous last words and then we have print
- 05:01 - 05:04
citations at the end with all the information.
- 05:04 - 05:05
So the most important thing is that
- 05:05 - 05:08
we include all that information
- 05:08 - 05:09
somewhere,
- 05:10 - 05:14
which is the author's name, the year and the page of it.
- 05:17 - 05:20
So when we're block quoting, it works very similarly,
- 05:20 - 05:24
there are very slight differences between the two styles.
- 05:24 - 05:25
Um
- 05:25 - 05:29
The biggest thing to note that for both style styles, block quotes
- 05:30 - 05:32
end up being a single spaced
- 05:33 - 05:35
as we see for both of these examples
- 05:36 - 05:37
and
- 05:37 - 05:39
a single phrase before the block quote is
- 05:40 - 05:41
double spaced.
- 05:42 - 05:45
Other than that they are the same
- 05:45 - 05:47
in terms of citation
- 05:47 - 05:50
as we looked at. For the other examples where
- 05:50 - 05:53
your uh notes and bibliographies example
- 05:54 - 05:55
gets a note in a footnote
- 05:56 - 05:57
and your
- 05:57 - 05:59
block quotes
- 06:00 - 06:01
for C MS author date,
- 06:01 - 06:05
get uh citation information with the year
- 06:05 - 06:06
page number
- 06:07 - 06:09
and the author's name mentioned.
- 06:15 - 06:18
So depending on what type of paper
- 06:18 - 06:19
style you're working on,
- 06:20 - 06:23
you'll either have a reference page or a bibliography page.
- 06:23 - 06:26
If you are working on C MS author date,
- 06:26 - 06:28
you'll use a reference page.
- 06:29 - 06:32
If you're using the C MS notes and bibliographies,
- 06:32 - 06:35
you'll use a bibliography page both of them look very similar.
- 06:36 - 06:41
So here we see on the left you, it mentions bibliography on the right.
- 06:41 - 06:42
It says references
- 06:43 - 06:47
uh as you can tell we have the same sources here for both of them,
- 06:48 - 06:49
they are cited
- 06:49 - 06:50
slightly differently.
- 06:51 - 06:56
The best way to learn how to cite things differently
- 06:56 - 07:00
for the different styles is use something like E S
- 07:00 - 07:00
O
- 07:01 - 07:04
gale, opposing viewpoints in context or us news newspapers,
- 07:05 - 07:07
those have auto citation features built into them.
- 07:08 - 07:10
So you can find your source there,
- 07:10 - 07:12
you can use their auto citation
- 07:12 - 07:13
and then you can see
- 07:14 - 07:15
how they differ. So
- 07:16 - 07:16
eps
- 07:16 - 07:17
you might pull up a source
- 07:18 - 07:22
and it'll say this is how to cite it in C MS notes and bibliographies.
- 07:23 - 07:27
And then it'll say this is how to cite it in C MS author date style.
- 07:27 - 07:28
Uh for the most part,
- 07:29 - 07:30
what looks
- 07:30 - 07:34
different is where we put things like years,
- 07:35 - 07:36
but they are very similar.
- 07:38 - 07:38
Now
- 07:39 - 07:40
this
- 07:40 - 07:40
an
- 07:40 - 07:43
an annotated bibliography might apply if your
- 07:43 - 07:47
professor specifically asks for an annotated bibliography.
- 07:47 - 07:50
So this would be instead of a reference page
- 07:50 - 07:52
and instead of a standard bibliography page,
- 07:53 - 07:56
you would essentially have your citation or
- 07:56 - 08:00
your source. And then you would evaluate the source.
- 08:00 - 08:03
When you evaluate a source, you would summarize the source,
- 08:03 - 08:05
you would assess the credibility of the source
- 08:05 - 08:07
and you would explain how the source led to
- 08:07 - 08:09
the strength of your argument.
- 08:10 - 08:12
You'll do this for every single source
- 08:12 - 08:15
that you cite and your annotated bibliography.
- 08:15 - 08:16
So
- 08:16 - 08:19
check with the professor if you need one because it's a lot of extra work
- 08:19 - 08:20
to do if you
- 08:21 - 08:23
and you don't want to do all that extra work, if you don't need one,
- 08:24 - 08:25
um If you do need one,
- 08:26 - 08:28
it's gonna affect your grade a lot if you
- 08:28 - 08:29
don't do one,
- 08:33 - 08:36
if you have any problems with citation
- 08:36 - 08:37
pretty well.
- 08:37 - 08:42
C MS scriber, C MS and C MS online have really good guides on how to formulate
- 08:43 - 08:44
all your citations
- 08:45 - 08:47
in both of those types of C MS styles.
- 08:48 - 08:50
You can see we have links to
- 08:50 - 08:52
all those sources I just mentioned.
- 08:53 - 08:58
Uh And as I mentioned before, you can also use search engines like
- 08:58 - 09:02
Epsco Gala posing viewpoints in context or us newspapers
- 09:03 - 09:06
because they have auto citation features built in
- 09:09 - 09:10
C MS, has an auto
- 09:10 - 09:14
generator that you can use to start your entries
- 09:14 - 09:18
and then you are responsible for going back and checking their accuracy.
- 09:18 - 09:20
You can check their accuracy by using
- 09:21 - 09:27
L C MS guide or looking at their sample papers and comparing them to your sources.
- 09:27 - 09:29
You can also compare
- 09:29 - 09:32
um all of those citations to the sample papers we
- 09:32 - 09:35
have available through the Craft Mills College Tutoring Center.
- 09:36 - 09:39
Make sure that you are looking at the right type of
- 09:40 - 09:41
um
- 09:42 - 09:43
paper format
- 09:43 - 09:45
to check your sources though,
- 09:46 - 09:48
because we have a sample paper for C MS other
- 09:48 - 09:50
date and one for C MS author notes and Bibs,
- 09:56 - 09:58
other resources that are available to you
- 09:59 - 10:01
are the formatting and style guides through,
- 10:02 - 10:04
through Chicago manual style online
- 10:05 - 10:08
through scriber Chicago style citation guide
- 10:08 - 10:12
and through the C H D tutoring center where we have various handouts
- 10:12 - 10:16
on the bottom left. You'll see that we have sample papers for both C MS styles
- 10:17 - 10:18
and on the right,
- 10:18 - 10:19
on the bottom right.
- 10:19 - 10:22
You'll see we have youtube tutorials linked
- 10:22 - 10:25
from other um very trustworthy sources,
- 10:25 - 10:28
including the N C C libraries and check.
- 10:28 - 10:31
So N C C libraries has a very useful video
- 10:31 - 10:32
that time stamps
- 10:32 - 10:36
all the different aspects of C MS styles.
- 10:36 - 10:38
So you can go and check and kind of see on
- 10:38 - 10:42
what parts that maybe you aren't 100% clear on and check
- 10:42 - 10:44
really quickly shows you how to set up a paper
- 10:44 - 10:45
using C MA.
- 10:49 - 10:51
So that all in all is
- 10:51 - 10:53
everything that goes into C MS.
- 10:54 - 10:58
If you still aren't clear on any part of this process, I would recommend
- 10:58 - 11:01
that you take a look at our sample papers that are available in the
- 11:01 - 11:05
C H C tutoring center and available on a writing hit out page.
- 11:06 - 11:10
You can also meet with a tutor and they will be more than happy to
- 11:10 - 11:11
work with you.
