Magazine articles consulted online

Include a URL at the end of a citation or, if no suitable URL is available, the name of the database.

Newspapers

Basic citation format for newspaper articles: name of the author (if known) and the headline or column heading in a daily newspaper are cited much like the corresponding elements in magazines. The month (often abbreviated), day, and year are the indispensable elements.

To cite an article consulted online, include the URL or, if no suitable URL is available, the name of the database.

Access dates

Because an access date – the self-reported date on which an author consulted a source – is of limited value, Chicago does not require access dates in its published citations of electronic sources unless no date of publication or revision can be determined from the source.

Shortened citations versus „ibid.”

In a departure from previous editions, Chicago discourages the use of ibid, in favor of shortened citations. To avoid repetition, the title of a work just cited may be omitted.

1. Morrison, Beloved, 3.
2. Morrison, 18.
3. Diaz, Oscar Wao, 37-38.
4. Morrison, Song of Solomon, 403.
