This article is currently in Draft status.
Articles and Essays should use endnote citations in order to indicate the source of information and to avoid plagiarism. Please adhere to the following guidelines. For image citations, see Citing Image Sources.
References Section
- Include a References section and the references tag immediately following the main text of each article or essay. This section will be automatically populated with endnotes, based upon any inline citations included on the page.
==References== <references />
Inline Footnote/Endnote Formatting
- Provide inline citations in the article or essay, immediately following the end punctuation of the sentence, sentences, or quotation that requires a citation.
- Enclose inline quotations in the reference tags, as shown below:
<ref>citation goes here</ref>
- Use Chicago-style footnotes/endnotes to cite all sources within the main text. For citation formats, see:
- Chicago-Style Citation Quick Guide (Be sure to use the "Notes" format shown here.)
- Chicago Manual of Style at Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) (Use the toolbar on the left to navigate to the type of source you want to cite; use the "Footnote or Endnote" format, which is labeled "N.")
- For "Additional Published Resources" and "Archival Resources for Further Research" (optional sections), use Chicago bibliography format. (Note that unlike the endnote format, the bibliography format places the author's last name first, in order to allow for alphabetical sorting.)
