The citation examples provided in this tutorial are listed here as they would be in a works-cited page using the Chicago style's Author-Date system. In Chicago style, the works-cited page may be single- or double-spaced, with the same spacing within and between citations. Turabian style calls for a double-spaced works-cited page. The works-cited should contain only works that are cited in the body of your paper. Newspaper articles are often omitted from the works-cited page; personal communications with the author are generally omitted as well. In these cases, a citation note should be included in the body of the paper. In the sample works-cited page below, we have double-spaced, and we have included the newspaper examples that appeared in the tutorial.

Citations beginning with names and those beginning with titles are to be alphabetized together. Numbers in titles are treated as though they have been spelled out. For names, alphabetize based on the letters that come before the comma separating the last name from the first, and disregard any spaces or other punctuation in the last name. For titles, ignore articles such as "a" and "the" (and equivalents in other languages) for alphabetization purposes.
