Preguntas frecuentes

How do I cite three or more authors in Chicago author-date? ▼

In references: list all authors. In in-text citations: use (First Author et al. Year) format.

Should I include DOI or URL for journal articles? ▼

Include DOI if available. If no DOI, include the URL. If neither, page numbers are sufficient.

What's the difference between this and APA for journal articles? ▼

Chicago author-date doesn't italicize the journal name, uses different punctuation, and formats volume/issue differently.
