Hey Aneira!

Feb 10, 2011 12:55

Since I don't have a copy of the Chicago Manual of Style, and I'm trying to use the online version (which is limited), would you (or anyone else on this f-list with access to the CMS) let me know how I'm supposed to format. (Yes I know the library has a version, but they want $25 for some purely accidental fines, that I can't justify at the moment ( Read more... )

Need more info. Are these endnotes, bibliography entries, or what? Why don't you just email me your paper and I'll look? No, I won't do stuff for you, but I'll look at it.

Bibliography entries

I haven't started reformatting the endnotes yet.

Bibliography entries are alpha by last name, so reverse first/last names of first author:

Richter, Ernst-Ludwig, and Heide Härlin, “The 'Stuttgarter Kartenspiel': Scientific Examination of the Pigments and Paint Layers of Medieval Playing Cards,” Studies in Conservation 21, no. 1 (1976): 18-24.

Note that you don't use the season or month if you've got an issue number. Also, no comma after journal title.

This says specifically to put the names in the first / last order. Was I reading it incorrectly?

Is yours the newer version? Because the website is what the CA Editor pointed me to, does 16th version (I think). Should I write Kiri and see which she's using?

Ok, no season or month, and vol, no. # is the format.

I swear it's taken me as long to do the citation stuff as it did to write the damn thing.
