FAQs
How do I cite a book with an editor instead of an author?
Our generator handles this seamlessly. Simply input the editor's name, and the tool will correctly format the citation, adding (ed.) or (eds.) after the names as dictated by Chicago style rules.
What's the difference in citing a print book versus an e-book in Chicago style?
For e-books, the citation typically includes additional information about the format (e.g., Kindle edition, PDF) or a stable URL/DOI. Our tool automatically incorporates these details when you specify an electronic version.
Is the city of publication still required for Chicago 17th edition book citations?
Under the 17th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style, the city of publication is generally no longer required for most standard publishers. Our generator adheres to this updated rule, producing streamlined citations.
What’s the difference between Chicago and APA?
The main differences between Chicago and APA styles are their disciplines and citation systems.
APA is primarily used in the social sciences and employs an author-date in-text citation system with a References list at the end. Chicago style is widely used in humanities and offers two different systems.
