5 Chicago Style General Paper Formatting 1 Margins Double Spaced Throughout Times New Roman, 12 Point Font Paginated Sources are cited in numbered footnotes or endnotes; each note corresponds to a raised (superscript) number in the text Sources are usually listed in a separate bibliography Citing Sources in Your Paper: Bibliography Style The corresponding numbered bibliographical notes appear either at the bottom of the page (footnotes) or after the end of the body of the paper (endnotes). Check with your instructor for the preferred method for the class. Regardless of location, bibliographical notes are single spaced with a blank line between individual notes and indented on the first line, and they should correspond with an entry on the bibliography. Footnotes are placed in numerical order at the bottom of the page on which their corresponding superscript references appear. The numbers will run consecutively throughout the paper. To insert a footnote, go to References > Insert footnote. Endnotes are arranged at the end of the text, before the bibliography. To insert an endnote, go Bibliography Basics Although bibliographic entries for various sources may be formatted differently, all included sources (books, articles, websites, etc.) are arranged alphabetically by author s last name. See the reverse side of this handout for examples. Common Elements All entries in the bibliography will include the author (or editor, compiler, translator), title, and publication information. Author Names The author s name is inverted in the bibliography, placing the last name first and separating the last name and first name with a comma; for example, John Smith becomes Smith, John. If an author is not listed first, this principle applies to compilers, translators, etc. Titles Titles of books and journals are italicized. Titles of articles, chapters, poems, etc. are placed in quotation marks. Publication Information The year of publication is listed after the publisher or journal name. Punctuation In a bibliography, all major elements are separated by periods.
