The University of Chicago Press's Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) presents the writer with a choice between a citation style that is more of a hybrid style between American Psychological Association (APA) style and Modern Language Association (MLA), referred to as the Author/Date style and CMOS's Notes/Bibliography style which integrates footnotes and/or endnotes and often a final bibliography. Writers asked to use "Chicago style" should clarify which of those options is preferred. You'll also sometimes have someone refer to Turabian citation style, which is from a writing guide based on the Chicago Manual of Style but written specifically for students. The full name of the style guide is A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations: Chicago Style for Students and Researchers. It is currently in its ninth edition.
