常见错误

错误:

(WHO 2023) - using acronym instead of full name in in-text citation

正确:

(World Health Organization 2023) - use full author name

原因: Chicago author-date style prefers full names in in-text citations unless the acronym is universally known.

错误:

Reference: WHO. Vaccines. 2023. Retrieved from https://...

正确:

Reference: World Health Organization. 2023. Coronavirus disease vaccines. WHO. Accessed Month Day, Year. URL

原因: Must include full title, access date format (Month Day, Year), and complete URL.

错误:

(WHO, 2023) - using comma instead of space between author and year

正确:

(World Health Organization 2023) - use space, not comma

原因: Chicago author-date uses space between author and year in parenthetical citations, not comma.
