Conference and symposium proceedings

Formally published conference papers are referenced like a chapter in an edited book. When published in a journal it should be referenced like a journal article. Conference papers retrieved online should end with a URL or DOI.

Thesis or dissertation

Notes

Order: Author, "Title of thesis" (kind of thesis, academic institution, year), specific page, URL or database.

Note: A thesis is treated as not published or informally published and therefore appears in quotation marks, not italics.

Encyclopædia or dictionary entry

Notes

Well-known and reliable reference works are normally cited only in the notes, not the bibliography.

Order: Encyclopaedia/Dictionary Title, edition (date), s.v. "title of entry."

Note: Treat encyclopaedia or dictionary entries like a page number, preceding the entry title with the abbreviation s.v. (meaning sub verbo, "under the word") or s.vv. for more than one entry.

1. Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd ed. (1989), s.v. "neuroscience."

Lecture notes, study guide, or book of readings

Chicago Style does not prescribe a specific format for study guides, so they should be treated like books, online books, or chapters in an edited book. Generally, it is a good idea to check with your lecturer about how they would like course material referenced.
If a single author is listed, use their name.

Notes

Order: Author, Title (City of publication: publisher name, year), page or chapter number.

1. John Smith, Second Language Learning: Course Guide (Palmerston North: School of Language Studies, Massey University, 2018), 102.

Bibliography

Order: Author. Title. Place of publication: publisher, year.

Smith, John. Second Language Learning: Course Guide. Palmerston North: School of Language Studies, Massey University, 2018.

Sometimes, however, study guides are written by many different authors with editors, in which case they should be treated like a chapter in an edited book.

Notes

Order: Author, "Chapter Title," Course Guide Title, editor/s (City of publication, Publisher name, year), specific page.

1. Miriam McGregor, "Persuasion, Propaganda and Marketing," in Introduction to Social Psychology, ed. Ben Roberts (Palmerston North: School of Psychology, College of Social Science, Massey University, 2018), 24-25.

Bibliography

Order: Author. "Chapter title". Course Guide Title, editor/s, page range. City of publication: publisher name, year.

McGregor, Miriam. "Persuasion, Propaganda and Marketing." In Introduction to Social Psychology, ed. Ben Roberts, 24-38. Palmerston North: School of Psychology, College of Social Science, Massey University. 2109.

Caution: Many lecturers prefer you to go outside academic sources rather than just relying on their own wording and ideas.

Doing research demonstrates that you can explore the topic outside the boundaries of the course materials. However, if you have been directly requested in assignment instructions to reference lecture notes and study guide materials, then they should be referenced as indicated above.

Many courses at Massey University use a book of readings, which is a collection of photocopied journal articles, book chapters, and other relevant material. Because the sections are direct photocopies, the original source is referenced rather than the book of readings.

In the reference list, format the entries according to their original type.

If you're not sure what the original source was, see what type of source is this?

Act of Parliament

Notes

Title year enacted, no., sections(s), URL.
Note: Legal sources are usually referred to in text or in a note only.

1. Crimes Act of 1961, No. 43, 7A(1)(b), http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1961/0043/137.0/whole.html#DLM328025.
