How to cite in music

Music scholarship typically uses Chicago/Turabian style; this is not, however, universal, so be sure to check with your professor, editor, or whomever is reviewing the text before committing to a particular style.

There are many different software programs that you can use to manage citations; please see the guide Citation and Copyright for more information.  In addition, please see the Library's Copyright Primer for more information about the legal concepts of intellectual property that make citation and attribution essential to scholarly work.
