Chicago footnote

Chicago reference style is available in two variants:

• Chicago A - Notes and Bibliography
• Chicago B - Author-Date

Chicago A (footnote style) is commonly used within the humanities, e.g., in literature science, historic-philosophical subjects and art history. The style uses numbered footnotes or endnotes (1, 2, 3 etc.) to cite sources. The footnote style can contain a wide range of sources, including unusual sources that do not fit the author-date style very well. Another advantage is that the text is not interrupted by bibliographical information. Using notes also gives room to comment on the various references.
