What kind of examples are included on this page?
As you scroll, you'll find footnote and bibliography entry templates and examples of citations for real sources for the following types of books:
- Figure, diagram, table, or musical example created by the author of the main text
- Figure, diagram, table, or musical example created by someone other than the author of the main text
Figure, diagram, table, or musical example created by the author of the main text
Notes:
- According to the Chicago Manual of Style Online, Section 14.158: Citing illustrations and tables, the abbreviation for figure - fig. - may be used when citing a figure; for tables, maps, plates, diagrams, and other illustrations, spell out the label (e.g. table 1, diagram 3, etc.).
- Does the figure/diagram/table appear in a book? Follow the book citation formatting for the main part of the footnote. Is the figure/diagram/table from a journal article? Format the main part of your footnote using the journal article template!
- In footnotes, include the page number on which the figure/diagram/etc. appears, place this before the number of the figure/diagram/etc., and separate these two elements of the footnote with a comma.
- In bibliography entries, cite the main text in which the figure/diagram/etc. appears (do not cite the figure on its own in a bibliography entry).

Notes:
-
This template applies when you need to cite a figure/diagram/table/musical example that has been published elsewhere by an author who is different than the author of the main text in which the item appears.
