ChicagChicago Manual Style

The Chicago Manual style, published by the University of Chicago Press is a writing style for American English that is widely used in the publishing industry. The Chicago Manual style refers to all aspects of editorial style rather that prose style, including American English grammar and usage to document preparation. First published in 1906, under the title Manual of style, the CMS became the industry leader. However, since around the 1960s, the CMS was viewed by some as out of touch. The Modern Language Association (MLA) published a more concise and up to date citation style in line with modern recording methods. The MLA started a trend, and there are now numerous styles guides aimed at writers, publishers, and editors, each claiming authority within a particular discipline.

Others claim the CMS to have the most comprehensive and structured citation style. Many discipline-specific styles are now in use, so the Chicago Writing Style perhap does not uphold the standard it held in the past. Yet it remains perhaps more comprehensive than any other writing style, containing chapters on copyright law, indexing, and the publishing process of books and journals, making it a useful reference for the publishing industry, as well as individual writers and scholars. The Chicago Manual of Style is still used as the citation style in some social science publications and in most historical journals.
