Citation Style Guide for JHE: Chicago Manual Style 17th edition

Documentation for manuscripts should conform to the latest edition of the CMOS (notes and bibliography method). Authors should use endnotes instead of footnotes and use the automatic footnote/endnote function in MS Word.

Submitted manuscripts that do not comply with CMOS will be returned to the author for corrections before the copy edit stage. This could delay the publication of your article.

The following examples show how initial notes (N) and the short form of subsequent notes (S) should be formatted. For documentation of sources not covered below, please consult the CMOS.

Special notes:

When publications are authored by Jesuits, S.J. (no spaces) should appear after their names.

Ibid. is discouraged in new edition. Instead, use a short note, such as: Morrison, Beloved, 52 (see CMOS 14.34).
