We currently use a derivative of the Chicago Humanities "Notes and Bibliography" Style. In this, footnotes are added to the text (using superscript arabic numerals) to provide specific citations for sources that support the statements or arguments presented. We are now following the "shortened notes" form (for examples see https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide/citation-guide-1.html.  At the end of the article, a bibliographic listing is provided, alphabetical by surname of first author/editor, showing full details of all the published works cited. Citations of manuscripts and archives are given in footnotes only, not the bibliography.

Footnote citation styles

Abbreviations used

ed./eds. for editor(s), trans. for translator, comp. for compiler, etc.
For book editions use the abbreviation "edn."
Standard abbreviations may be used without further definition for certain sources commonly used in Foundations, click for list.
The abbreviations Ibid and op. cit. should be used sparingly and only to clarify the style.

Bibliography

The bibliography at the end of the article should list all the published sources cited in the footnotes, in alphabetical order of first author's surname, with full bibliographic information to help readers locate the sources. Sources on the FMG list of standard abbreviations (such as published calendars of medieval rolls) can be omitted here but the footnote citation should include sufficient information to identify the source. Unpublished archive materials are also omitted from the bibliography. Listing of websites is a matter of judgement whether they are considered formal publications or more transitory items. Some examples of bibliographic entries corresponding to the above footnote examples are given below. Please conform to the use of punctuation and italic font as shown.
Personal identifiers such as "Sr." or "III" should not be added after the author's name unless it is essential to differentiate individuals. Degrees and professional qualifications should not be listed.
Reprints of older works by new publishers should give the details of the original publisher as normal, with the new publishers and the reprint date in square brackets after the original publication date
