How do I cite information from a table or graph in Chicago Style?
Answer
In Chicago style, if you are referring to an image, including charts or graphs, and not placing it within your paper, your citation and footnotes will be for the source the image came from.
For example, below is a citation for a table from a website.
Footnote
1 American Veterinary Medical Association, “U.S. Pet Ownership Statistics”, 2024, avma.org/resources-tools/reports-statistics/us-pet-ownership-statistics.
Shortened Footnote: American Veterinary Medical Association, U.S. Pet Ownership.
Bibliography
American Veterinary Medical Association. “U.S. Pet Ownership Statistics.” 2024.
avma.org/resources-tools/reports-statistics/us-pet-ownership-statistics.
