Citation Within The Text

These guidelines follow the principles, and rely upon the examples, where possible, given in the Chicago Manual of Style (2003). This manual constitutes the authoritative international guide to publication standards and style.

The Chicago style, when referring to a source of information within the text of a document, in its simplest form, gives a short citation consisting of the name of the author (or authors) and the date of publication. The full details of the source are given in a reference list at the end of the document.

The short, in text references are given wholly or partly in parentheses (round brackets). Generally use only the family name of the author, followed by the year of publication and any relevant page numbers. No distinction is made between books, journal articles, web documents or other formats.

For example, a reference to a book appearing in the text as (Ogilvie 1998, 26-28) would be found in the reference list in the following form:

Ogilvie, Timothy H. 1998. Large Animal Internal Medicine. Baltimore, Maryland: Williams and Wilkins.

A reference to a journal article appearing in the text as (Morgan & Thompson 1998, 243) would be referenced in the reference list at the end of an assignment as:

Morgan, U. M., and R.C. A. Thompson. 1998. PCR Detection of Cryptosporidium - The Way Forward. Parasitology Today 14 (6): 241-245.

A reference to an electronic document would be cited in the text in the same way as a print document. In this example, the internet document by Raidal & Dunsmore (1996, 13) would be cited in the reference list as:

Raidal, Shane R., and Jon Dunsmore. 1996. Parasites of Companion Birds: A Survey of Alimentary Tract Parasites in Caged Psittacine Birds with Specific Reference to the Prevalence of Trichomonas Gallinae. http://wwwvet.murdoch.edu.au/caf/parasit.htm (accessed July 14, 1998).

There are two options for in text references. Firstly, the reference can be placed at the end of the sentence wholly in parentheses. Alternatively, the author's name may be integrated into the text, and just the date and additional information placed within the brackets. See examples of both of these options in the next section below.

Citation within the text - Print Documents

There are four common methods of referring to a source document in the text of an essay, thesis or assignment. These methods are:

1. Quoting
Quotations must be identical to the original, including punctuation, using a small section of the source. They must match the source document word for word, be enclosed within quotation marks, and must be attributed to the original author with an in text citation. When directly quoting from another source, ensure that the relevant page number(s) are given.

Short quotes

Larsen (1991, 245) stated that "many of the facts in this case are incorrect".

Longer quotes

In general, avoid using too many long quotes and remember to introduce or integrate quotations smoothly into the rest of your assignment.

You may choose to indent a larger block of quoted text. Such blocks of quoted texts usually consist of more than one sentence or more than 40 words. Blocks of quoted texts should be indented from the left margin only, single spaced and may be one point smaller than the standard font size.

Example - Wider applications are increasingly being found for many drugs such as invermectin. For example, Crump (2006, 53) confirms that:

Ivermectin - already used extensively in animal health and in eliminating onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis, two of the most disfiguring and deleterious human diseases - is now being used commercially for the treatment of strongyloidiasis, mites and scabies.

2. Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from the source material into your own words. A paraphrase must also be attributed to the original source with an in text citation. When paraphrasing, keep the meaning the same but do not use the original wording. The purpose of paraphrasing is that it flows better with your own writing. You generally need to change both the sentence structure and the expression, using synonyms or alternative expressions. Paraphrased material may be as long (or even longer) than the original source material. However, it is often shorter than the original passage, taking a larger section of the source and condensing it slightly. When paraphrasing, you must also include the page number(s) which relate to portion of the text that you have used.

Original - "Named for James Brady, the White House press secretary who was shot and wounded by John Hinckley Jr. during the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan in March 1981, the Brady Bill establishes a national waiting period and background check for the purchase of a handgun" (Bender 1995, 137).

Paraphrase - Bender (1995) explains that the introduction of a waiting period and a background check for people buying handguns in the US, is due to the Brady Bill. The bill was named after White House aide James Brady, who was wounded during an assassination attempt on President Reagan (137).

3. Summarising
Summarising is condensing longer text to a much briefer version. It involves putting the main idea(s) into your own words, including only the main point(s). Once again, it is necessary to attribute summarised ideas to the original source with an in text citation. Summaries are significantly shorter than the original and take a broad overview of the source material. Page numbers should be given when summarising.

Original - "At a typical football match we are likely to see players committing deliberate fouls, often behind the referee's back. They might try to take a throw-in or a free kick from an incorrect but more advantageous positions in defiance of the clearly stated rules of the game. They sometimes challenge the rulings of the referee or linesmen in an offensive way which often deserves exemplary punishment or even sending off. No wonder spectators fight amongst themselves, damage stadiums, or take the law into their own hands by invading the pitch in the hope of affecting the outcome of the match" (Mantex 1999, 1-2).

Summary - Unsportsmanlike behaviour by footballers may inspire hooliganism among spectators (Mantex 1999, 1-2).

In this example, a longer paragraph of approximately 100 words is reduced to a short sentence of nine words.

4. Citing the Whole of a Document
Sometimes it may be necessary to give a general reference to the whole of a source document. This method of referencing is used least often.

The theory was first propounded in 1990 (Larsen 1991) � OR
Larsen (1991) was the first to propound the theory.

This is the citation for a work by Forman, Jones, Witham and Gonzales. Only the surname of the first listed author is used, followed either by "and others" or more commonly in science "et al.". Although "et al." is a Latin phrase, in Chicago style it is not italicised. Please note that all authors' names are listed in the Reference List or Bibliography.

Page numbers and volume numbers included
The theory was first propounded in 1990 (Larsen 1991, 245) � OR
Larsen (1991, 245-7) was the first to propound the theory � OR

Bursch (2005a, 14) described how the yak made transport possible in the high mountains of Inner Asia, as did the llama in the Andes of South America (Bursch 2005b, 231).

A distinction is made in by adding lower case letters, a, b, c, etc. to the date. These letters are included in the full reference in the Reference List to distinguish between the two documents.

Corporate author
(CSIRO 1999) � OR

Citation within the text - Electronic Documents

Documents published in electronic formats are cited in the same way as print documents. If the electronic document has an author and date of publication, use these for the in-text citation. The full description of the document (including its electronic source data) will be given in the reference list or bibliography at the end of your essay or assignment.

If page numbers are not given, use paragraph or other section numbers if you need to be specific.

If there is no author or date, follow the guidelines above for print resources.

Electronic books
An electronic book listed in a reference list as:

Pretty, Jules N. 1995. Regenerating Agriculture: Policies and Practice for Sustainability and Self-Reliance. Washington DC: Joseph Henry Press. http://www.nap.edu/books/0309052467/html/index.html (accessed June 12, 2006).

could be cited in the text of an assignment as Pretty (1995, 262-264) or (Pretty 1995, 262-264).

Electronic journals
An electronic journal listed in a reference list as:

Fitzgerald, Greg. 1999. The GST and Electronic Commerce in Australia. E Law 6(3): 6+. http://www.murdoch.edu.au/elaw/issues/v6n3/fitzgerald63.txt (accessed June 30, 2001).

could be cited in the text of an assignment as Fitzgerald (1999, 7) or (Fitzgerald 1999, 7).

Internet sites
The internet document listed in a reference list as:

could be cited in the text of an assignment as Raidal & Dunsmore (1996, 13) or (Raidal & Dunsmore 1996, 13).

The internet document listed in a reference list as:

Australian Bureau of Statistics. 2000. Livestock Products, Australia, March Quarter, Cat. no. 7215.0, AusStats. http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats (accessed July 28, 2000).

could be cited in the text of an assignment as the Australian Bureau of Statistics (2000, sec. 3, par. 2) or (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2000, sec. 3, par. 2).

No Page Numbers
(Derrida 1994, sec. 2, par. 7)

Use a paragraph number if no page numbers are present

No Author, Date or Title
In the unlikely case that the document has no author, date or obvious title then the internet address may be cited in the text:

Kidspsych (http://www.kidspsych.org) is a wonderful interactive Internet site for children.
It has been stated that the problem cannot be solved (http://www.xyz.com).

To direct readers to an entire internet site (but not a specific document on the site), it is sufficient to give the address of the site in the text. Make sure the internet address you provide is current and links to the site. Remember that internet addresses may change.

Note: information from an internet page with such limited publication details may not be appropriate to include in academic research. All internet resources should be evaluated carefully. Criteria for evaluating internet sites include:

Who is the author? It is important to check the author's credentials to determine whether he/she has the knowledge and authority to supply credible information. Check to see if any contact details are provided.
How current is the information? See when the document was created and when it was last updated.
What is his/her interest in the material? Can you detect any bias in the content and are you able to determine the purpose of the site? Check the web address to identify the type of organisation producing the document. Be aware that commercial interests and some politically motivated sites may not present a balanced view.
What sort of content is there? Can the content be considered comprehensive and of good quality? Does it provide links to other documents? Check on the audience the information is aimed at (e.g. secondary school students or university students).

The hanging indent for each reference makes the alphabetical sequence more obvious.
Chicago differs from some other author-date referencing styles in that the authors' names are given as they appear on the source material and second or further authors' names are not reversed.
