Referencing style - Chicago: Short form for subsequent citations

A guide to using the Chicago 18th referencing style for footnotes and reference lists.

Short Form Notes for Subsequent Notes

When creating notes, if the subsequent note refers to the same reference this is called a consecutive citation. These can use a shortened form of the citation following the rules outlined in Chapter 

The short form should include enough information to remind the reader of the full title or to lead them to appropriate entry in the bibliography.

For example:

    1. Fabio Schillaci, Architectural Renderings: Construction and Design Manual (Chichester: West Sussex: Wiley, 2010), 120.

    2. Schillaci, Architectural Renderings, 251.

    3. Schillaci, 257.

    4. Richard Read, Art and its Discontents: The Early Life of Adrian Stokes (Aldershot, England: Ashgate, 2002), 65.

    5. Schillaci, Architectural Renderings, 258.

See also Section 13.32 to 13.39 of the Chicago Manual of Style, 18th edition for further advice on using shortened citations.

See Section 13.46 to 14.45 of the Chicago Manual of Style, 18th edition for advise on adding commentary and quotations into Notes.
