The LaTeX chicago package

Version: 3.x, 4.x, 5.x - Scientific WorkPlace & Scientific Word

The chicago package is used in combination with the file chicago.bst to produce BibTeX bibliographies formatted according to The Chicago Manual of Style, Edition 13.

How to create a bibliography formatted according to The Chicago Manual of Style

1. Add the chicago package to your document.
2. From the Typeset menu, choose Bibliography Choice.
3. Check BibTeX and choose OK.
4. Specify the chicago.bst file:
   1. Place the insertion point where you want the bibliography to appear in your document.
   2. From the Insert menu, choose Typeset Object and then choose Bibliography.
   3. Select the BibTeX database files you want to use.
   4. Scroll down the Style list to select chicago.bst and choose OK.
5. Save and compile the document.

The package also supports a variety of citation formats. Although the program interface doesn't directly support these modifications, you can achieve the citation format you want by inserting commands in TeX fields.
