A separate guide explains the Chicago Manual of Style (Author/Date System).

A bit more complex than either the MLA or the APA, it offers two approaches for documenting sources: 1) a notes system and, 2) an author/date system similar to the APA. If the name of the person interviewed is mentioned in the title, the name can be omitted from the start of a note (as seen in the examples below), but it should always appear in the bibliography entry.Ĭlick through the tabs below to see how to cite interviews from journals, videos, and magazines.The CMS style documentation system is used in both the humanities and the social sciences. Include the the interviewer’s name after the title. The only difference from the usual formats is that the note and bibliography entry both begin with the name of the person being interviewed. Citing a published interviewĬitations of interviews that have been published in any type of source follow the format for the type of source in which they were published.
