CMOS notes-bibliography / author-date
Humanities, history and some social sciences.
How it is scoped
In the diagnostic you name the manual (APA, ABNT, Vancouver, Chicago, institutional or journal). The written scope states what is formatted and on which file of yours.
The governing manual, applied carefully
In LATAM the usual conflict is your programme guide against the manual it claims to use. We apply what governs, in writing, in the scope. APA 7th ed. for many Spanish-language postgraduate programmes. Chicago when the department asks. Vancouver in health. ABNT as a lead manual lives on tesispro.lat.
We do not invent a «TesisPro» style. If your faculty mixes rules, we record the hierarchy you name. LATAM programmes under ABNT go to tesispro.lat.
What we do with the file
Citations, reference list, headings, pagination, captions, block quotes, DOIs when they belong. We do not rewrite the argument to fit a word count. Incomplete sources are flagged; bibliographic data are not invented.
Same flow: diagnostic, scope, your file, return. The style fee does not include method mentoring or a mock defence.
Deliverables
A file with the apparatus applied, notes on institutional-guide exceptions, and a list of sources still incomplete for lack of your data. Title page and preliminaries if they are in the scope.
The manual is not cosmetics
Chicago and APA 7 are not «change the font». They change citations, headings, DOIs and preliminaries per the manual. If your programme requires ABNT, use tesispro.lat.
Paraguay and the region
On this host APA 7 and Chicago are common. Vancouver appears in health. ABNT as a lead manual lives on tesispro.lat.
Authorship
Applying a manual does not turn someone else’s text into your thesis. The file must be your authorship; see /integridad.
Application detail
APA 7: author–date, DOI, headings, quotations over 40 words, tables. Chicago notes-bibliography or author–date. Vancouver numbering in health.
Institutional guides sometimes contradict the manual. Hierarchy: what you name in writing in the scope. Incomplete source = flag, not a fictional DOI.
Scope, limits, and how the quote works
One manual per scope unless the institutional guide says otherwise. A manual change after delivery is new work.
What sits outside the style package
Style work does not rewrite the argument or complete results. If the institutional guide arrives after the scope, the scope is revised.
Style-manual questions
Do you apply APA and ABNT in the same file?
Only if your guide asks explicitly. By default, one manual.
Does it include content review?
No, unless you hire editing or mentoring. Style is apparatus, not argument.
What if the committee asks for another manual afterwards?
A new scope is quoted.
