Bibliographic Information

Like any other citation style, CM requires that you provide full bibliographic information for all ideas that you cite. In CM, this information is given in the footnotes at the bottom of the page where the citation occurs. Each entry will be numbered to correspond with the citation in the text (your word processing program will do this for you). Examples are given for the following selections:
