How do I cite…

To cite a book in your bibliography, you need the following information:

• Title of the book
• Author
• Place of publication
• Publisher
• Publication Year

Here's an example of how to cite a book using the Chicago citation style:

Page, Stephen J, Tourism management. 6th ed. London/New York: Routledge, 2019.

When you need to cite a specific section from a book, like a chapter or a contribution in an anthology, there are some extra details you should include:

• Title of the chapter or contribution
• Author of that particular chapter
• Editor of the book
• Title of the book
• Place of publication
• Publisher
• Publication year
• Page numbers of the chapter

Here’s an example of a citation in the Chicago citation style to illustrate how you should cite a chapter in a book:

Pedersen, E.R. Gjerdrum & Bjartmarz, T. "CSR Standards and Social Accounting." In Corporate Social Responsibility. Edited by E.R. Gjerdrum Pedersen, 103-123. London: Sage, 2015.

If you want to cite an article from a journal, you must provide the following information:

• Article title
• Author of the article
• Name of the publication (journal)
• Volume number (including the issue, if specified)
• Page numbers of the article
• Publication date (year)

Here is an example of a journal article citation in the Chicago citation style:

Alvesson, Mats, and Jörgen Sandberg. "Generating Research Questions Through Problematization." Academy of Management Review, vol. 36, 2 (2011): 247-271.

To properly cite a university thesis, dissertation, or habilitation, you need to include the following details:

• Title of the thesis, dissertation, or habilitation
• Author
• University where the work was completed
• Type of thesis (diploma thesis, master's thesis, dissertation, etc.)
• Date of completion (year)

Here's an example of how you'd do this in the Chicago citation style:

Daniel, Cornelia. "Marktanalyse für den Markteintritt von Greenonetec Solar-Industrie GmBH in den australischen Solar-Markt." Diploma thesis, Vienna University of Economics and Business, 2007.

To cite web pages, you'll typically need to include the following details:

• Website title
• Author or organization responsible for the content
• Publication year
• Date on which you accessed the page
• The web address (URL) or DOI to locate the page

Here's an example of how to format this citation in the Chicago style:

First and foremost, make sure to talk to your supervisor about using AI tools. Ask if (and how!) you can use them and how you should cite AI-generated content in your paper. Also, there are recommendations on citing AI-generated content in different citation styles like APA, Chicago, and MLA.

You can find more information on how to make the use of AI tools transparent in your work on our page "Citing AI".
