Referencing
The Courtauld’s recommended referencing style is the Chicago Manual of Style Online.
The Library team and the Academic Skills tutor can support you in using this style.
Some students prefer to organise their sources manually, and if so you might want to use our ‘Organise Your Research’ Excel template.
Chicago Manual of Style
The complete Chicago Manual of Style Online is a comprehensive guide; Chapter 14 provides extensive advice and citation examples.
