Chicago Style Guide

The Chicago style is a set of guidelines for writing research papers that meet a certain set of scholarly standards. For a detailed description of these standards, see The Chicago manual of style (15th ed.) available at the Reference Desk and on the shelves at REF Z253 .U69 2003. Below is a list of works cited by format, cited according to the Chicago style.

Note: Chicago style requires that you create two lists of references -- Notes and Bibliography, each on its own page, after the last page of your text. Single space the entries, but double space between entries.

Whenever you incorporate other authors' text and ideas in your paper, you must indicate where in the text you refer to them. If you have a citation in the Notes and Bibliography pages, you must have a corresponding Endnote in the text of your paper. Links to Chicago-Turabian tutorials and guides from other colleges and universities can be found at the bottom of this page.
