Documentation Samples

The citation examples given below follow the preferred conventions of the Press for capitalization, punctuation, abbreviations, etc., for the two Chicago Style types of documentation – notes and bibliography and author-date and references. For more extensive detail on both systems, consult the Chicago-Style Citation Quick Guide. If you have any questions about any aspect of documentation, please ask your acquisitions editor, who may direct you to a production editor. If your documentation is deemed substandard when it reaches production, it may be returned to you to fix or you may be required to pay the extra costs associated with a copy editor fixing it. In either case, the schedule would be compromised. Notes and Bibliography History and law and some humanities and arts use the notes and bibliography style of documentation. The bibliography may or may not be comprehensive. If the endnotes contain full citations, it is acceptable and sometimes even desirable to include only a selected bibliography of useful works or a bibliographical essay. NOTES UBC Press uses endnotes, rather than footnotes. Make sure that full citation information is provided when a citation is introduced in each chapter. The author’s name plus a short title is given for subsequent citations in the same chapter. Please note though that the full citation must be given again when the same citation occurs in a subsequent chapter. If a chapter needs a specific acknowledgment or epigraph citation, this can be included at the beginning of the notes for that chapter, with numbered notes following thereafter. Below is a sample showing the endnotes for a chapter, starting with a general acknowledgment/source note and the first nine numbered notes
