it still feels incredibly tedious. And before anyone suggests citation software, that ship has sailed and it would take longer to learn how that works and get it to fit the style I need (plus the problems they often present when you convert to PDFs) 2/

so I am doing them manually and it is frustrating. What is also frustrating is the lack of guidance on this. I don't blame my supervisors because I think they assumed that we were taught this but as a Canadian student used to Chicago style 3/
