artbull-writing-style-and-citation
Use when polishing prose and formatting citations for an Art Bulletin article to The Chicago Manual of Style — endnotes (not author-date), full credit-line captions, and consistent CAA-style formatting. Art-historical writing must be precise about objects and rigorous in its notes. Handles style and citation; it does not do the analysis.

# Writing Style & Citation (artbull-writing-style-and-citation)
The Art Bulletin follows **The Chicago Manual of Style**, using **endnotes (not footnotes)** for the
scholarly apparatus, per the CAA Publications Style Guide. The prose must be precise about objects and
arguments, and the notes and captions must be flawlessly consistent. (Verify the current Chicago
edition — the Style Guide states the 17th; an older page referenced the 16th. See 待核实.)
## When to trigger
- Final stylistic polish before submission
- Converting citations to Chicago **notes** form (endnotes)
- Formatting captions and credit lines
- A reviewer or editor flagged inconsistent or non-Chicago citations
