Chicago Manual of Style Notes and Bibliography Style

CMS Notes and Bibliography style is most often encountered in the humanities.
UPF prefers notes to be short form and all works to be included in the bibliography.
An alternative method is to provide full publication details at first mention of any work cited in a note,
and subsequent references can be short form.
If a note is citing a journal or newspaper article, full publication details can be given in the note and an
accompanying entry in the bibliography is not needed.
Be sure to consult chapter 14 in The Chicago Manual of Style (16th edition) for further examples and
information.
CMS online offers a quick guide. Please check it out!
