Journal and Magazine Articles

Before starting the citation process, please make sure you are using the correct CMS style as required by your instructor!

Special Notes:

Chicago style does NOT require the access date in citations of formally published online sources. However, if your discipline (or professor) prefers that this information is included, please include it prior to the DOI/URL. Separate it from the rest of the citation using commas for Notes and periods in the Bibliography entry (e.g., ... , access December 4, 2017, ... and ... . Accessed December 4, 2017. ...).
Articles retrieved from library databases should include the database name instead of a DOI/URL.
