Format for notes and bibliography

The most common style of notes and bibliography for History papers is the Chicago Manual of Style, sometimes called Turabian who authored the earliest editions. For a detailed description and examples, see the Cal-Berkeley website at: http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingLib/Guides/Chicago-Turabianstyle.pdf

For simplicity sake, the following examples are recommended to use for articles and books cited in your notes and references:

Monica Green, "Women's Medical Practice and Health Care in Medieval Europe," Signs, 1989, 14: 434-473

W.F. Bynum, "Physicians, Hospitals and Career Structures in 18th Century London," in W.F. Bynum and Roy Porter, eds., William Hunter and the 18th Century Medical World (Cambridge Univ. Press, 1985), pp 105-128

Roy Porter, Greatest Benefit to Mankind (New York: Norton, 1997)

Di Rado, Alicia. 1995. Trekking through college: Classes explore modern society using the world of Star trek. Los Angeles Times, 15 March, A3

Lynch, Tim. 1996. DS9 trials and tribble-ations review. Peoria, IL: Bradley University. On-line. Available from Internet, http:// www.bradley.edu/campusorg/psiphi/DS9/ep/503r.html, accessed 8 October 1997

Give the full reference the first time the work is referred to in a note (use footnotes if your wordprocessor allows it). The second time you need only use the author's name. If the same author has more than one work, give a brief title the subsequent references.

At the end of the paper give an alphabetical list of all sources used. If there are questions, let me know.

Other acceptable styles include the APA, sometimes called the scientific notation. For examples, see http://www.indiana.edu/~wts/pamphlets/apa_style.shtml.
