This guide provides examples of 18th Edition Chicago Manual of Style citations that are most commonly used by students at the College of DuPage. For additional examples and rules, please consult the Chicago Manual of the Style (18th ed., 2024).
The eighteenth edition of this classic guide for writers, editors, and publishers is the most extensive revision in two decades. Every chapter has been reexamined with diversity and accessibility in mind, and evolving technologies—from open-access publishing models to AI—are covered throughout.
This manual has a three-part structure, beginning with an overview of the steps in the research and writing process. Part II provides an overview of citation practices, an array of source types with contemporary examples, and detailed guidance on citing online resources. The final section treats all matters of editorial style, with advice on punctuation, capitalization, spelling, abbreviations, table formatting, and the use of quotations.
