A bibliography may be included at the end of the text. Depending on the type of work, the following bibliography categories may be used:
- A full bibliography listing all references included in the text, with or without sections organised by type of work.
- See 14.63, Figure 14.8 (p. 778).
- A selected bibliography listing a subset of references cited and/or a selection of recommended or further reading.
- See Figure 14.9 (p. 779).
- An annotated bibliography.
- See Figure 14.10 (p. 780).
- A bibliographic essay.
- See Figure 14.11 (p. 781).
- A list of works by one author arranged chronologically.
The formatting of the bibliography differs slightly to the notes. The main differences are:
- The name of the first author is inverted to Last name, First name in order to alphabetise the list. When there are multiple authors, only the first authors' name is inverted.
- The specific page number references will be removed, except in the case of a chapter in an edited book.
Examples of how to format notes are shown in the sections to the right.
See Chapter 14 of The Chicago Manual of Style print book for more detailed examples, or view the bibliography examples in The Chicago Manual of Style Online.
