Citing Sources in Chicago Style
The Chicago Manual of Style is published by the University of Chicago Press. It started out as a guide for professors at the University who were preparing scholarly articles and books for publication, and over more than 100 years has become a standard citation style for researchers everywhere. NCC students use it most often in Philosophy and History courses.
