Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram: these and other social media platforms make a huge impact on our culture and how we communicate, and many researchers use them to share their work and network with other academics.

Your professor requires you to cite using the Chicago Style for the upcoming paper. Do not panic!

Learning outcomes:  

• differentiate between the Author-Date and Notes-Bibliography formats;  
• compare and contrast the roles of the Notes to the role of the Bibliography;  
• prepare the first and subsequent in-text citations using both formats;  
• prepare a brief bibliography.
