Q. How do I cite an encylopedia entry in Chicago style?

According to section 14.233 of the Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition, material (i.e. entries) from an online reference source, such as the Encyclopedia Britannica Online, should be cited as a eletronic source.

The basic format for an online encyclopedia entry is:

Title of reference work [in italics], s.v. "Title of entry," Date accessed, Name of Publisher or DOI #

Note: s.v. stands for sub verbo, under the word.

Example:

1. Encyclopedia of Gender and Society, s.v. “Access to Justice,” accessed April 8, 2016, http://dx.doi.org/10.4135/9781412964517
