Notes
  • As the year of publication follows the author names in this style, the issue number usually appears in parentheses after the volume.
  • If there is a season or month after the volume and issue number, then this goes in the parentheses.

  • See 14.70 – it covers other variations that can occur.
  • CMOS 13.10 re URL from subscription databases - use DOI where possible but can also just name the database.
  • CMOS is not explicit in relation to whether the URL/DOI link is live.

Notes
  • Special Issues of a journal focus on a single theme – the numbering is usually the same volume and issue sequence – issue numbers maybe combined if it's a double issue. The special issue may have a separate editor and title of its own.
  • When citing, you can be referring to an article within the special issue / supplement OR the whole special issue / supplement. (example shows an article within).
  • Supplements are usually numbered separately to the regular issues.
  • See CMOS 14.77 and 14.78.

Notes
  • To cite an article with an Article Number (also known as citation IDs) you place the number after the : (colon) - i.e. where the pages range would usually go.
  • These articles will usually have a pdf version and the pages will start at 1. These numbers can be used in the in-text citation for quotes and paraphrases. It will look like this (Jansuwan and Zander 2022, 8).
