For more information, see the 7th edition of Turabian's Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations: Chicago Style for Students and Researchers, and the 15th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style, which are available at the Reference desk in the McNeese Library. The page numbers cited in the examples on this webpage are from Turabian's Manual unless noted otherwise.


Notes:
"Whenever you refer to or otherwise use material from a source, you must insert into your text a superscript number that directs your reader to a note that gives bibliographical information about that source." (p. 151)  "Number notes consecutively, beginning with 1." (p. 152)

The notes inserted in the text of your research paper are then listed after the end of your paper's text:

"Endnotes should be listed together after the end of the text...but before the bibliography. Start each note on a new line, with a blank line between notes. Label the list Notes." (pp. 152-53) "Indent...endnotes as you would a paragraph." (p. 152)

"In some fields, your instructor may expect you to give full bibliographical data in each note, but in most you can give a complete citation the first time you cite a work and a shortened one in subsequent notes." (p. 154) In the following example of a subsequent (shortened) note for a book, the components are the note number, the author's last name, and the page number for the passage being cited.

An Example of a
SUBSEQUENT (SHORTENED) NOTE:  
      4. Girard, 52.

   
Bibliography:

A bibliography is arranged differently from the list of your notes:

"A bibliography is normally a single list of all sources arranged alphabetically by the last name of the author, editor, or whoever is first in each entry." (p. 148)  "If you are using bibliography-style citations, you will probably include a bibliography in the back matter.  Label the first page of this element Bibliography at the top of the page...Leave two blank lines between the title and the first item listed..." (p. 404) Each item in the bibliography "should be single-spaced internally but with a blank line between items" (p. 375)

"Citing a particular volume in a note.

(Chicago Manual of Style, p. 667) See the 2 examples below.

In the following example, the volume cited---volume 2---has its own individual title, Theory of Gene Frequencies.  The date cited is the date when volume 2 was published.  The citation ends with the page number cited.

           An Example of a NOTE when Citing a Particular
         Volume with an Individual Title (Chicago Manual

         of Style, p. 667):

    Populations
, vol. 2, Theory of Gene Frequencies (Chicago:
    University of Chicago Press, 1969), 129.

In the following example, only volume 4 is cited, and it does not have an individual title. The number after the colon is the page number cited.

         Volume without an Individual Title (Chicago
         of Style, p. 667):

             of the Development of Doctrine.

             of the Catholic Tradition.
Chicago: University of Chicago
             Press, 1971.

"When a multivolume work is cited as whole, the total number of volumes is given after the title of the work (or, if an editor as well as an author is mentioned, after the editor's name). If the volumes have been published over several years, the range of years is given." (
Chicago Manual of Style, p. 666)  See the following example:

SACRED WORK (Bible, Qur'an, etc.)

Margins, Page Numbers, Spacing, & Title Page:

Margins:
"Leave a margin of at least one inch on all four edges of the page."  (p. 374) 

Page Numbers:
"If your only front matter is a title page, do not number that page. Number pages in the body of the paper and the back matter...starting on the first page of text." (p. 375) "Page numbers are usually placed in one of three locations: centered...at the bottom of the page, centered...at the top of the page, or flush right...For class papers, choose one of these locations and follow it consistently." (p. 376)

Spacing:
Spacing in the text of the paper: "Double-space all text in papers..." (p. 375)

(
The exceptions are "block quotations" and "table titles and figure captions" which "should be single-spaced," and "the following which should be single-spaced internally but with a blank line between items:"...a "table of contents," if there is one, and "any lists of figures, tables, and abbreviations," and "footnotes or endnotes," and "bibliographies or reference lists" which "should be single-spaced internally but with a blank line between items.") (p. 375) 

Spacing between sentences: "Put only one space, not two, following the terminal punctuation of a sentence." (p. 375)

Spacing for notes: Footnotes or endnotes and bibliographies or reference lists "should be single-spaced internally but with a blank line between items..." (p. 375)

Title Page:
"Class papers should begin with a title page (though some put the title on the first page of the text; consult with your instructor). Place the title of the paper a third of the way down the page, usually centered. If the paper has both a main title and a subtitle, put the main title on a single line, followed by a colon, and begin the subtitle on the next line. Several lines below it, place your name along with any information requested by your instructor, such as the course title (including its department and number) and the date." (p. 386)

See an example of a title page on p. 378 (Figure A.1) in the 7th edition of Turabian's Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations: Chicago Style for Students and Researchers, which is available at the Reference desk in the library.

Parenthetical Citations-Reference List Style:

"In reference list style, you signal that you have used a source by placing a parenthetical citation (including author, date, and relevant page numbers) next to your reference to that source...At the end of the paper, you list all sources in a reference list...Since parenthetical citations do not include complete bibliographical information for a source, you must include that information in your reference list." (pp. 216-217)

Parenthetical Citations: The Basic Form
(p. 218):
(Author's Last Name Date of Publication, Pages Cited)

Reference List:
"Label the list References. See figure A.16 [on p. 402 in the 7th edition of Turabian's Manual] for a sample page of a reference list." (p. 221)  "A reference list is normally a single list of all sources arranged alphabetically by the last name of the author, editor, or whoever is first in each entry." (p. 221) "If a book or journal article does not have an author or editor (or other named compiler, such as a translator), put the title first in your reference list entry and alphabetize based on it, ignoring articles such as a or the." (p. 222) "Reference list entries have a hanging indentation: the first line is flush left and all following lines are indented the same space as paragraphs." (p. 221)
