Chicago formatting rules the generator applies
- First author inverted, the rest in natural order; “and” before the last.
- Article titles in “quotation marks”, books and journals in italics, headline-style capitals.
- Dates written month day, year: March 5, 2024.
- Bibliography entries separate elements with full stops.
Tips
- Enter one author per line — as “First Last” or “Last, First”. Wrap organisations in {braces} if they are mistaken for a person.
- Use YYYY-MM-DD dates, or just the year when that is all you have.
- Check proper nouns after sentence-casing (APA) — untick “Fix title capitalisation” to keep your own capitals.
