Race and Mass Incarceration: Citation

History courses at Lawrenceville require students to use Chicago/Turabian Citation Style.

In Chicago/Turabian Style, you will need to create two citations for each source:

• A full bibliographic citation (goes at the end of your paper on the Bibliography page; your sources should be listed in alphabetical order by author)

• A footnote (added at the end of the page where the source is referenced)

Only cite the information that is available to you. If you cannot identify a piece of the template [e.g. an author or date], leave it out rather than making it up.

For Help with Chicago/Turabian Style: 

For additional help with citation, use the libchat feature in this research guide or stop into the library to work with a librarian. 

When Should I Cite?

• When using a direct quote

• Paraphrasing an idea from a text

• Summarizing a text 

• Using facts, information, and data, anything that is not common knowledge

• When in doubt, cite! 

• Cite while you write -- do not leave your citations until the last minute.
