Chicago Style Guide, for 17th Edition

Introduction

            Magazine footnotes/endnotes are styled nearly identically to journals. The only difference is that the publication date is no longer enclosed in parentheses as it is more common (and more important) than a volume or issue number (if it even exists). As with all citations, enough information should be given so that any interested reader can find the referenced materials.

Note-style citations of magazines require some or all of the following elements:

1. Author: Full name(s) of authors (Firstname Middlename Lastname).
2. Article Title: and subtitle of article or column, with all major words capitalized(surrounded by quotation marks)
3. Magazine Title: all major words capitalized (in italicized characters).
4. Volume/Issue: if it exists (volume number, no. [issue number])
5. Publication date: (generally a month and year, or just year).
6. Page numbers: (where appropriate).
7. URL/DOI: (for online publications).
