Elements of Chicago Style Writing and
Documentation
  • Presentation by

  • California Lutheran University Writing Center

2
Basic Formatting
  • Margins/Headings
  • Chicago-style requires 1-inch margins on all
    sides and papers to be double-spaced in 12-point
    Times New Roman or Arial font.
  • For the Title Page, the proper heading should be
    centered about half-way down the page in Size 12
    font.
  • The proper formatting for the title page is as
    follows
  • Full Title of Paper
  • Your Full Name
  • Course Title
  • Professors Name
  • Date

3
Basic Formatting
  • Example of Title Page Heading
  • Final Research Project
  • Adam Erickson
  • HIST-470 Teaching History
  • Dr. Michaela Reaves
  • May 1, 2008
  • Page numbers go in the upper left-hand corner
  • Use the Header and Footer, then Page Number
    function on MS Word
  • Your last name together with each page number is
    optional
  • Example with Last Name Erickson 2.

4
Basic Formatting
  • Footnotes Basic Formatting
  • All footnotes will be inserted using the Insert
    Footnote function of word processing programs (MS
    Word).
  • Single-spaced too.
  • They go at the bottom of the page automatically
    if done correctly.
  • A footnote should be used at the very end of any
    quoted material.
  • If a heavy amount of paraphrasing from one source
    (but no direct quoting) exists in a paragraph, a
    single footnote at the end is acceptable.
  • Exception If more than one source is used,
    footnotes must be present at the end of each
    instance of paraphrasing or direct quoting.
  • It is acceptable to use the abbreviation Ibid
    (Latin, short for ibidem, the same place) to
    represent the exact same source following its
    original citation (and any amount subsequently).

5
Basic Formatting
  • Footnotes Basic Formatting (Continued)
  • If a source was used previously in the paper and
    is used again later, it is acceptable to document
    that source in short form for that instance and
    every other instance of citing that source that
    follows.
  • Note Short form, Ibid., etc. will be explained
    following the guidelines of how to cite different
    sources.

6
Basic Formatting
  • Works Cited Page(s)
  • A list of every source that was cited in the
    paper (listed only once).
  • Type Works Cited at the top of the page.
  • Goes at the very end of the paper (after the
    conclusion).
  • Each source in the Works Cited is listed in
    Alphabetical Order by the authors last names.
  • If a source has no documented author, it goes
    behind all the others with authors.
  • If there are more than one of this type, they are
    organized in Alphabetical Order by their titles.
  • Only the first line of each source is all the way
    to the margin all others are indented one tab
    space.

Basic Formatting
  • Example of a Works Cited entry
  • Erickson, Adam L. Elements of Chicago Style
    Writing and Documentation. 17 January 2008.
    Given at California Lutheran University.
    (February 1, 2008).
  • There are subtle differences between how sources
    look in the Works Cited pages and the footnotes

    guidelines.

Citing an Internet Website (Not a Scholarly
Journal)
  • Note When using the Internet for other sites
    besides scholarly journals, it is important to be
    aware of the level of scholarship that the site
    employs.
  • Wikipedia, for example, is not generally
    considered good scholarship because its articles
    can be written by anyone who has an account with
    the website, and they do not have to give their
    name or credentials.
  • Footnote Template
  • Authors First and Last Name, Page Title,
    Website Title, (Publishers Name or Institution
    Publishing Date), Date Accessed, Available at
    URL.
  • Footnote Example
  • Mary Wilson, Teaching Vietnam, Incomplete and
    Profoundly Confused A Bibliographic Essay on the
    Vietnam War, (Vanguard University and Mary
    Wilson November 1995), 29 Sept. 2007, Available
    at http//www.vanguard.edu/faculty/mwilson/index.

    index.aspx?doc_id1724.
  • With many websites, it is likely that some, or
    possibly a great deal of the information required
    for the footnotes and the Works Cited entry will
    be missing (such as author, publishing date,
    etc.).
  • If too much is missing, it is likely the website
    does not represent good scholarship and a new
    source should be found.
