Referencing style - Chicago: Short form for subsequent citations

A guide to using the Chicago 17th referencing style for footnotes and reference lists.

Shortened form for subsequent and consecutive citations

The full details of a source is recorded in the footnote the first time it is cited. .When this source is subsequently cited again, a shortened form is recorded in footnotes.  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.
