Chicago Manual Style

Notes and Bibliography version of Chicago Manual Style

General Guidlines

• Page Set-Up

• Double-space the text; all other sections, including abstract and glossary may be single-spaced, though the bibliography is usually double-spaced

• Set one-inch margins top and bottom and 1.25" side margins

• Use left justification only • Use a 12-point, standard, typeface (i.e. Times

Roman)

• Standard sans serif typefaces (Helvetica, Arial, Futura, etc.) may be used for headings

• Do not use any form of Courier; this is a typewriter-style typeface and is not proportional

• Indent for paragraphs (usually ½ inch or one tab space), and do not include extra space between paragraphs; do not use block paragraph format

• Page numbers should be in the upper right hand corner of the page, ½ inch from the top

Bibliography Page Set-Up

• Bibliography is typed on a separate sheet and follows the endnotes

• List entries alphabetically by authors' last names (or article title if author is unknown as is often the case with Internet resources)

• The first line of each entry is flush with left-hand margin; all subsequent lines in the same entry are indented three spaces

• Double space the entire document within and between entries (single-spaced is sometimes preferred—ask your reader's preference)

Style Essentials

• Page numbers for the body of the report, glossary, bibliography, and appendices are written in Arabic numerals

• Page numbers for title page, table of contents, list of figures, and abstract will be written in lower case Roman numerals

• Use a superscript (a raised numeral in the text) to signal a citation

• Titles of full-length works (books, journals, operas, movies, etc.) are italicized

• Titles of short works (short stories, articles, etc.) are placed in quotation marks

• The title of your report will NOT be underlined or placed in quotation marks and will reflect the information contained within the text

• Avoid use of personal pronouns • Avoid the use of contractions • Avoid use of jargon, clichés, and

colloquialisms • Avoid use of abbreviations
