Chicago style format refers to the citation and formatting guidelines outlined in the Chicago Manual of Style, a comprehensive guide to writing, editing, and publishing. Chicago style is widely used in academic writing, particularly in history, literature, and the humanities. It provides rules for formatting elements such as citations, footnotes/endnotes, headings, margins, and page numbers. Chicago style allows for footnote/endnote and author-date citations, offering flexibility to accommodate different disciplines and publication preferences.
