Endnotes and Bibliography: A Chicago Style Example

In this quick reference guide, we will explore how to format the title page, notes, and bibliography citations according to the Chicago Manual Style (CMS) 17th edition. This style is widely used in academic disciplines such as history, philosophy, religion, and the arts.

Title Page Format

The title page should be centered a third of the way down from the top. Use a readable font, preferably Times New Roman, 12 pt. Do not include a page number on the title page. The title and subtitle (if applicable) should be in bold font, title case, and slightly larger than the body text.

Bibliography Format

The bibliography appears at the end of your paper and is centered on the page. The heading 'Bibliography' is bolded and appears at the top of the page. Each entry should start with a single line space between entries. If an entry extends onto more than one line, subsequent lines should be indented (hanging indent) as seen in the example below.

Examples

* Book: Smith, John. _The History of Philosophy._ New York: Routledge, 2018.

* Journal Article: Johnson, Jane. 'The Impact of Social Media on Society.' _Journal of Communication Studies_ 10, no. 2 (2020): 12-20.

* Website: 'Chicago Style Citation.' Accessed June 16, 2020.

Notes and Bibliography Guidelines

In a Chicago-style annotated bibliography, you will write a paragraph summarizing the source and evaluating its usefulness under each entry. The notes should be numbered consecutively throughout the paper, starting with 1 at the beginning of the first note. The bibliography is not double-spaced, unlike the rest of your paper.

* Use Times New Roman font, 12 pt., for the title page and body text.

* Center the title a third of the way down from the top of the page.

* Do not include a page number on the title page.

* Use bold font for the title and subtitle (if applicable).

* Indent subsequent lines of an entry that extends onto more than one line.

* Add a single line space between entries in the bibliography.

* The heading 'Bibliography' is bolded and appears at the top of the page.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your title page, notes, and bibliography citations are formatted correctly according to the Chicago Manual Style (CMS) 17th edition.
