==== I need to use Chicago style. Which of the three versions that come with Zotero should I use? ====

Zotero ships with three variants of the Chicago style (formatted examples of each style are shown below). The //author-date// format is most popular in the physical, natural, and social sciences, whereas researchers in literary, historical, and artistic fields mostly use note-based styles. For the note-based variants, the notes can either be self-explanatory and come with or without a bibliography (//full note//), or serve as a reference to a bibliographic entry (//note//).

  * Chicago Manual of Style 16th edition (author-date)
    * **in-text citation**: (Adams 2002, 12)
    * **bibliographic entry**: Adams, Douglas. 2002. //The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy//. New York: Del Rey.
