  1. Briar Cliff University: Writing Center Guide to Chicago manual of style

  2. What is Chicago Style? • A manual of style with a similar purpose to MLA and APA. • A specific set of guidelines for formatting references and citations.

  3. Who uses Chicago Style? • Fields within the humanities such as: • History • Anthropology • Political Science • Professional organizations such as: • American Anthropological Association • Organization of American Historians

  4. Title Page Title of Paper Student Course Professor Date • There is no strict format for title pages. • Ask professor for a sample or specific requirements. • Right is an example of a typical title page for undergraduate work.

  5. Body • Text includes footnotes or parenthetical citations. • Superscript numbers in the text refer to specific citations in the footnotes or bibliography. • In long works, the text is divided into sections, subsections, parts and chapters.

  6. Body: Introduction • In short works, it does not have to be set apart with its own heading. • In long works, it may be headed as INTRODUCTION or CHAPTER 1/ONE. • The page on which the introduction appears is numbered as page 1. Any previous pages, to include the title page, are not numbered.

  7. Body: Parts and Chapters • If the paper is divided into parts, each part will have its own title page, which will contain the heading, part number and part title. • Each chapter begins on a new page. The heading is usually centered, and reads CHAPTER followed by the number either spelled out or in numeral form. The title of the chapter is centered on the line below the heading.

  8. Body: Sections and Subsections • Text within the chapters may be further divided into sections and subsections. • Titles of these divisions are called subheads or subheadings. • A page should never end with a subheading. • There are five levels of subheadings

  9. Five Levels of Subheads The First Level is Centered, Capitalized in Headline Style and Boldfaced, Italicized or Underlined The Second Level is Centered and Capitalized in Headline Style The Third Level is Left Justified, Capitalized in Headline Style and Boldfaced, Italicized or Underlined The fourth level is left justified and capitalized in sentence style The fifth level uses an indent at the beginning, is capitalized in sentence style, punctuated with a period and boldfaced, italicized or underlined.

  11. References • Appendixes are not necessary in every paper, but provide a place to include material relevant to the topic of the paper yet unsuitable for inclusion. • Endnotes are listed on a page titled NOTES, and are numbered with Arabic numerals and correspond with material in the text. Text material is noted with the same superscript Arabic numeral given to the endnote reference.

  12. References (cont.) • A bibliography page is similar to a Works Cited page (MLA) or a References page (APA). • Sources are commonly listed alphabetically. • Alternate orderings-for example, chronological-can be used, but should be explained in a head or footnote on the first page of the bibliography.
