常见错误

错误:

(Kurzgesagt 2022) - no access date in reference

正确:

Reference should include: Accessed Month Day, Year

原因: Chicago author-date requires access date for online videos.

错误:

Kurzgesagt. 2022. How to Become Immortal. YouTube.

正确:

Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell. 2022. "How to Become Immortal." YouTube. Accessed Month Day, Year. URL

原因: Include full channel name, title in quotation marks, access date, and complete URL.

错误:

(Kurzgesagt, 2022) - using comma between creator and year

正确:

(Kurzgesagt 2022) - use space, not comma

原因: Chicago author-date uses space between creator and year.

常见问题

What if the video has no official creator name?

Use the channel name as the creator: Channel Name. Year. "Title." Platform. Accessed...

Should I include the exact upload date or is the year enough?

Year is sufficient for most cases. The access date is what's required in Chicago style.

Can I include a timestamp for specific content in the video?

Add the timestamp to the URL: https://youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxx&t=120s or mention it in your text.
