 This video explains how to cite theses and dissertations according to the 16th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style. Theseses and dissertations refer to works completed for masters and doctoral degrees. The terms are often used interchangeably and they are cited in the same way. I'll show you how to cite online and print theses or dissertations in both your notes and in your bibliographies at the end of your paper. In these examples, all punctuation is in red for emphasis. In your actual paper, all font will be black. In your note, start with the author's name followed by a comma. Then, in quotation marks, the title of the theses or dissertation followed by a comma. In brackets, indicate the type of degree, for example, a master's thesis or PhD, and the abbreviation for dissertation, and the university, and the year it was completed. Outside the bracket, place a comma followed by the page number where the reader can find the original quotation. If you read a print version of the thesis or dissertation, you would end there. For the online thesis or dissertation, place a comma after the page number and if you accessed it, free on the internet, add the URL. If you accessed through the library website, add the name of the database to use instead, for example, ProQuest. Here are two completed examples. Notice how in your note, the first line of each citation is indented and the following lines are aligned left. Also notice that the URL is not hyperlinked or underlined. If the database provides an identification number, you can include it in brackets after the database name. Next, let's look at how that information would look in your bibliography. In your bibliography, put the author's last name first. There are also differences in punctuation. In some places where you used a comma in the note, you use a period in the bibliography, and there are no brackets around the publication information. In your bibliography, the first line of each citation is aligned left and the following lines are indented. But where do you find all that information? Everything you need is on the title page of the thesis or dissertation. Whether you're using a print or online version, you can easily find the title and author, type of degree, university, and the year on the title page.
