Cite is right is a presentation about citation. It discusses what a citation is, when citations are needed, and examples of common citation styles like Chicago style. A citation provides information about the author, title, publisher and date to allow readers to find the source. Citations are needed whenever using someone else's words, ideas, references or work. Chicago style citations typically include the author, publication date, publisher, city of publication and page numbers. The Chicago Manual of Style has evolved over 100 years to become the authoritative reference for citation.

source

5. CHICAGO-STYLE OF REFERENCING
The history of The Chicago Manual of Style spans more than one hundred
years, beginning in 1891 when the University of Chicago Press first opened
its doors. At that time, the Press had its own composing room with
experienced typesetters who were required to set complex scientific material
as well as work in such then-exotic fonts as Hebrew and Ethiopic. To bring a
common set of rules to the process, the staff of the composing room drew up
a style sheet, which was then passed on to the rest of the university
community.
That sheet grew into a pamphlet, and by 1906 the pamphlet had become a
book: Manual of Style: Being a compilation of the typographical rules in
force at the University of Chicago Press, to which are appended specimens of

thousand pages in print or more than two thousand hyperlinked paragraphs
online—has become the authoritative reference work for authors, editors,
proofreaders, indexers, copywriters, designers, and publishers. This hundred-
plus-year evolution has taken place under the ongoing stewardship of Chicago’s
renowned editorial staff, aided by suggestions and requests from the manual’s
many readers. In general,
