How to Cite a Thesis/Dissertation in Chicago/Turabian
Academic theses and dissertations can be a good source of information when writing your own paper. They are usually accessed via a university’s database or a third party database, or found on the web. The main difference between a thesis and a dissertation is the degree type they are submitted for:
- Thesis—A document submitted to earn a degree, such as a master’s degree, at a university.
- Dissertation—A document submitted to earn an advanced degree, such as a doctorate, at a university.
This guide will show you how to create notes-bibliography style citations for theses and dissertations in a variety of formats using the 17th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style.
Guide Overview
- Citing a thesis or dissertation from a database
- Citing a thesis or dissertation from the web
- Citing an unpublished thesis or dissertation
Citing a Thesis or Dissertation from a Database
Citation structure.
1. First name Last name, “Title” (master’s thesis or PhD diss., University Name, year published), page number, Database (Identification Number).
Bibliography:

Bibliography:
Thesis and dissertation can mean different things, depending on which institution the work is from.
At Auckland University of Technology (and other NZ universities):
- Thesis is used either for a doctoral or a master's degree.
- Dissertation is used either for a master's or a bachelor's degree with honours.
- Exegesis is the written component of a practice-based thesis where the major output is a creative work; e.g. a film, artwork, novel.
In some other parts of the world, such as the United States, a dissertation may be used for a doctoral degree and a thesis used for a master's degree. You can use the same citation pattern, no matter what the type of thesis is called.
List the type of thesis as it appears on the title page, but abbreviate dissertation as diss .

Chicago-Style Citation Quick Guide
Chicago-style source citations come in two varieties: (1) notes and bibliography and (2) author-date. If you already know which system to use, follow one of the links above to see sample citations for a variety of common sources. If you are unsure about which system to use, read on.
Notes and Bibliography or Author-Date?
The notes and bibliography system is preferred by many working in the humanities—including literature, history, and the arts. In this system, sources are cited in numbered footnotes or endnotes. Each note corresponds to a raised (superscript) number in the text. Sources are also usually listed in a separate bibliography. The notes and bibliography system can accommodate a wide variety of sources, including unusual ones that don’t fit neatly into the author-date system.
The author-date system is more common in the sciences and social sciences. In this system, sources are briefly cited in the text, usually in parentheses, by author’s last name and year of publication. Each in-text citation matches up with an entry in a reference list, where full bibliographic information is provided.
Aside from the use of numbered notes versus parenthetical references in the text, the two systems share a similar style. Follow the links at the top of this page to see examples of some of the more common source types cited in both systems.
Most authors choose the system used by others in their field or required by their publisher. Students who are unsure of which system to use will find more information here .
For a more comprehensive look at Chicago’s two systems of source citation and many more examples, see chapters 14 and 15 of The Chicago Manual of Style.

How to Cite a Thesis or Dissertation in Chicago Footnote Referencing
- 2-minute read
- 6th May 2020
Have you found useful ideas or data in someone else’s dissertation or thesis to support an argument in your own work? Our guide below explains how to cite a thesis or dissertation correctly in the Chicago footnote style.
Footnote Citation for a Thesis or Dissertation
The Chicago Manual of Style ’s footnote referencing system uses superscript numbers to point to citations. For instance:
Usually at the end of a sentence, like this. 1
The footnote format for a thesis or dissertation in Chicago referencing is similar to the one used for a book . The main difference is that you should use quote marks instead of italics for the title:
n. Author name, “Title of paper” (type of paper, academic institution, year of completion), page number, URL/database name (document ID).
Of course, you only need to give a URL or database name and ID if you accessed the paper online! To cite page 42 of John Smith’s printed PhD thesis, then, your footnote would look like this:
1. John Smith, “Useful Ideas for Research” (PhD diss., University of Learning, 2006), 42.
If you’re citing only an abstract, simply add the word “abstract” after the title:
2. Tom Persson, “Great Thoughts and Stuff,” abstract, (master’s thesis, Educational Establishment of City Name Here, 2012), 81, https://CityNameUniversity.edu/1901.11/39144.

For repeat citations, use the standard shortened footnote format .
The Bibliography Entry
The bibliography entry for a thesis or dissertation will be similar to the first footnote citation. However, there are a few differences in the format:
- You will need to use a period between each element, not a comma.
- The first author’s name should be inverted (i.e., “Surname, First Name”)
- You do not need parentheses for the additional paper information (i.e., the paper type, institution, and year of completion).
- No page number is required.
So, bibliography entries for these sources should look like this:
Author Surname, Author First Name. “Title of paper.” Type of paper, academic institution, year of completion. URL/database ID.
Thus, you would present your bibliography entries as follows:
Persson, Tom. “Great Thoughts and Stuff.” Abstract. Master’s thesis, Educational Establishment of City Name Here, 2012. https://CityNameUniversity.edu/1901.11/39144.
Smith, John. “Useful Ideas for Research.” PhD diss., University of Learning, 2006.

- Government & Legal Documents
- Secondary Sources
- Videos & DVDs
- How to Cite: Biblical & Catholic Sources
- How to Cite: Other
- Short Form & Ibid.
- Additional Help
In Chicago style, the first time that an item is cited, provide a full citation for the item. For subsequent citations, use a shortened version of the footnote, which includes:
- Author's last name (for edited works, use the editor's last name, but omit the "ed." after the name)
- Shortened form of title (2-4 words; omit initial articles such as A , An , or The from the title)
- Page number (when available)
Examples of full footnotes followed by short form footnotes:
1. John Bright, Jeremiah . The Anchor Bible (Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1965), 60.
2. Danna Nolan Fewell and David M. Gunn, “Boaz, Pillar of Society: Measures of Worth in the Book of Ruth,” Journal for the Study of the Old Testament 45 (1989): 46.
3. Arthur A. Just, ed., “Overview, Luke 3:1-20,” in Luke , Ancient Christian Commentary (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2001), 57.
4. Bright, Jeremiah , 60.
5. Fewell and Gunn, “Boaz, Pillar of Society,” 46.
6. Just, “Overview, Luke 3:1-20,” 57.
Short Form and Ibid.
The 17th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style discourages the use of ibid. , which previously was used to refer the same source cited in the previous footnote.
Instead of using ibid. , a shortened form of the citation may be used. The first time a shortened citation is used, all elements of short form should be included (author, brief title, page number). When citing the same source in multiple consecutive footnotes, to avoid repetition, the title may be omitted from the citation. The page number should be included in each footnote, even if it is the same as the previous footnote.
Examples of shortened citations:
1. Bright, Jeremiah , 60.
2. Bright, 60.
3. Fewell and Gunn, "Boaz, Pillar of Society," 46.
4. Fewell and Gunn, 45.

Gender Differences in Spatial Navigation Skills
- Description
Citrano, Emily O'Neal (author)
text bachelor thesis
The current study investigates the impact of aging and gender on spatial navigation and wayfinding abilities, crucial skills for daily activities. The decline in these abilities with age has been well-documented, and sex differences in spatial navigation have consistently shown through the literature that men outperform women. To comprehensively explore these phenomena, the study uses various tasks, including the Directions & Orienting Assessment (DORA)-Item Response Theory (IRT), Spatial Orientation Task (SOT), Mental Rotation (MR), and working memory assessments. The DORA evaluates left/right and cardinal points orientation, reflecting participants' spatial navigation skills. SOT assesses how individuals orient themselves using different markers, providing insights into spatial orientation abilities. The MR tasks challenge participants to mentally rotate two-dimensional objects, simulating real-world navigation scenarios. Working memory tasks are also administered, as these skills are essential for effective navigation. This research aims to delve deeper into sex differences by examining performance across tasks and identifying potential moderators. By critically analyzing inconsistent findings in the literature, the study strives to elucidate why sex differences exist and how various cognitive processes contribute to spatial navigation disparities. The ultimate goal is to provide valuable insights that enhance understanding and education about individual differences in spatial navigation, aiding individuals in navigating their environments more successfully. Results from independent samples t-tests revealed no significant differences between males and females in left/right (L/R) directional tasks or cardinal direction tasks. However, a repeated measures ANOVA showed a significant main effect of task type, indicating differences in performance between L/R and cardinal tasks across all participants. Correlation analysis demonstrated a moderate positive relationship between cardinal and L/R task scores. Interestingly, no significant correlations were found between sex and task performance. These findings suggest that while there are differences in performance across spatial navigation tasks, sex does not significantly influence these differences. The study underscores the complexity of spatial navigation abilities and emphasizes the need to further explore underlying factors contributing to individual differences. By critically analyzing inconsistent findings in the literature, the research aims to elucidate why sex differences exist and how various cognitive processes contribute to spatial navigation disparities, ultimately providing valuable insights to enhance understanding and education about individual differences in spatial navigation.
