This guide will assist you in understanding how to reference for your assignment. It contains examples to help you format your in-text citations and reference list.
The Chicago 17 Author-Date is an author-date style, meaning in-text citations (author year) are used to acknowledge the author(s) of ideas and quotes you have included in the body of your assignment. The details of these citations are then included in a reference list, organised alphabetically, at the end of your assignment.
Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools
Check your assessment or course details to determine if you are permitted to use generative AI tools to complete your assessment. Further information is available on the Why Academic integrity matters web page.
When citing content produced by these tools follow the examples in the AI section of the referencing guide.

- Sections with individual authors in edited encyclopedias are treated as chapters in edited books.
- If the encyclopedia is in print, replace the URL with publishing details as shown in Book - print.
- Encyclopedias on the web often do not have an edition name or number.

- The author may or may not be the same as the publisher of the document, and at times the website name is different to the name of the publisher of the document. In the example above, the website name and the publisher of the document are one and the same and so is not repeated.
- Some websites allow documents that were originally published by other entities to be available on their site which means the website and publisher names will be different.
- If there is no date of publication, state n.d. as the year published and use the date the website was Last modified or Accessed after the title details.

In-text citations
Acknowledge authors in your writing using the following formats:
- Paraphrase
- ...was concluded (Author Year, Page).
- Author (Year, Page) discusses how...
Examples:
- Teachers help each student with their individual interpretation of understanding (Fetherston 2007, 61).
- Australia's higher education sector is known for providing students with training that is relevant to their future profession (Bohm and Chaudri 2000, 52).
- Quote
- Author (Year, Page) states that...
- ...(Author Year, Page)
Examples:
- Fetherston claims that teachers "suggest ways of looking at the new material" (Fetherston 2007, 61).
- Bohm and Chaudri (2000, 52) claim that Australia has a "reputation for delivering industry-focused education and training."
Block quote examples:
- Gullifer and Tyson's (2010, 478) research concludes evidently,
how important it is for institutions... ...is not done in the haphazard or piecemeal manner reported by participants.
- The research concludes evidently,
how important it is for institutions... ...is not done in the haphazard or piecemeal manner reported by participants. (Gullifer and Tyson 2010, 478)
Take note:
- provide a page number for direct quotes and paraphrased text
- use the chapter, section or paragraph number ('chap.' or 'sec.' or 'para.') if there is no page number then omit this detail
- abbreviate page number if the range is above 101, for example: 519-21, not 519-521
- include a time stamp in hh:mm:ss format instead of a page number for audiovisual material (video, podcasts, DVDs etc.), for example: "...quoted sentence" (Kavutskiy 2019, 4:24).
- block quotes are recommended for a hundred words or more and quoted material of more than a paragraph, even if very brief.
- block quotations are not enclosed in quotation marks, always start on a new line and are indented or set in smaller type of font from the text.
- for block quotes, the in-text reference is given in parentheses as part of the sentence before the quote or after the punctuation mark at the end of the quote.
Reference list
Place the reference list at the end of your assignment on a new page with the heading of "References".
In your reference list:
- add a reference for every source cited in your work.
- order references alphabetically by the last name of the author(s) or organisation name
- list works with no author under the first significant word of the title
- write authors' names in the order they listed on the title page of the source, initials can be used for first names
- invert the first author's name, for example: LastName, FirstName and subsequent author names in this order, for example: FirstName LastName
- indent the second and subsequent lines of each reference
- write titles and subtitles in headline case, where the first letter of each major word is capitalised
- separate each element of a reference with a full stop.
