Chicago Manual of Style referencing style was incepted in 1906 by the University of Chicago Press (University of Chicago, 2017). It follows two styles: note & bibliography and the author-date system.
When you download Mendeley on your computer, it may not contain all referencing styles. For example, OSCOLA (Oxford Standard for the Citation of Legal Authorities) is not in-built in Mendeley Desktop.
The references list should include details for all your citations in your paper. It should be in alphabetical order by author with all the different types of material in one sequence.
Referencing is an essential part in any academic paper. It is important that you cite the source of your borrowed idea and quote. By providing the source you are acknowledging in your paper that you have read the work and have recognized the referred author’s ideas.
