CMS Quick Style Guide

Using Chicago Manual of Style to Avoid
Plagiarism & Other Forms of Academic
Dishonesty
Revised September 2015
◦ Citations are mandatory for all academic
papers and presentations.
◦ If you submit any paper, even a rough draft
without citations, it still counts as plagiarism
 You will be penalised for this:
 Zero on the assignment
 Academic Alert
 In the worst cases, a student may be placed on
probation or expelled from the college.
• Few academic presentations and papers are
produced without help.
• To put this together, we received help from:
www.lib.sfu.ca/helpwriting/
And
www.owl.english.edu/writinglab/
• Links to these websites may be found on the
Writing and Learning Centre’s web pages under
“Citation Style Guides”.
•
CMS (Chicago Manual of Style)
• CMS is most commonly used in the disciplines of history,
film studies and is also used in other humanities such as
literature.
• CMS style is more than citations and bibliography
• It also refers to how the paper is set up
• The next slides outline key features of CMS style
• These are essential elements for the papers you hand in at AC
• Failure to comply with these guidelines will cost you
marks

They are often a lens for critically analysing our
perceptions, values and moral stances and, more
significantly, can be a motivator for social change.
•
“Cite as you Write” is a good way to avoid
an academic alert.
• We recommend including citations in your
research notes, essay outlines, and the first
and final drafts of any essay.
Direct Quote: When you are using the author’s own
words. The exact words should be in “quotations”.
Paraphrase & Summaries: This is when you are putting
what the author has said into your own words. You still
have to cite because the original ideas or research belong
to someone else.
Using an Idea: Even though this is in your own words, you
still have to cite because the original ideas or research
belong to someone else.
• You must put your citations in two places in your
paper.
1. Cite your sources in the body of your essay in
footnotes.
2. Alphabetically list of all your sources in the
Bibliography at the end of your paper.
•
In the West, we refer to family names as “last
names” and the familiar name people get called
as the “first name”.
• One of our teacher’s is named Erika.
• Her last name (family name) is Scott.
• Our Vancouver Librarian’s first name is Scott.
• His last name (family name) is Marsden.
•
In the West, the usual order of names is:
• Erika Scott and Scott Marsden
•
The inverted order of names is:
• Scott, Erika and Marsden, Scott
Notice the comma separating the names.
•
So, if Erika and Scott got together and wrote a book, the
footnote would list their names like this:
• Erika Scott and Scott Marsden
•
In the Bibliography, the names would appear like this:
•
Scott, Erika and Scott Marsden.
Note: Only the FIRST AUTHOR’S NAME is inverted in
the Bibliography.
• In the Footnotes, authors’ names are NOT inverted:
• One Author:
1.
Alexander McCall Smith,
• Two Authors:
2.
Leo A. Groake and Christopher W. Tinsdale
• Three Authors:
R. Douglas Francis, Richard Jones and
Donald B. Smith
3.
• Four + Authors, cite the first author & then ‘et al.’:
4.
Samone Bos et al.,
• In the Bibliography, the first author’s name is inverted:
• One Author:
McCall Smith, Alexander.
• Two Authors:
Groake, Leo A. and Christopher W. Tinsdale.
• Up to 10 Authors, list all names:
Francis, R. Douglas, Richard Jones and Donald
B. Smith.
• To cite a source, a superscript number is
inserted at the end of the sentence.
• You can insert a footnote in MSWord on the
References tab: “insert footnote”
• Do not use the ‘insert citation’ feature – it is not accurate.
Example:
Mma Ramotswe did not think that it would be easy to open a
detective agency. “People always made the mistake of thinking that
starting a business was simple … [but it] … was always more difficult
than you thought it would be.” 1
