Footnotes

Chicago Style differs from MLA and APA format in that you will have footnotes, end-notes or both.

  • Always check with your teacher to find out if they have a preference: footnotes or end-notes or both.
  • Notes are sort of like the in-text citation part of MLA and APA format.
  • You must reference the exact page number if you are citing a book.

How to insert footnotes into Word

Title Page

Title page in Chicago format

  • Center the title of your paper in the middle of the page, halfway down.
  • Center your name directly under the title.
  • Your teacher's name, course title and block, and date should be written in three lines and centered at the bottom of the page.
  • Use Times or Times New Roman 12 pt font for the title page. Do not try to make your cover page decorative by using bold, underline, or creative fonts.
  • Do not put a page number on the cover page, and do not count it as part of the total page count.

Title page example

Shortened Notes

Shortened Notes

In the first footnote include the complete citation.

1. Zadie Smith, Swing Time (New York: Penguin Press, 2016), 315–16.

But if you cite the same source thereafter, use a shortened note : simply the author and the title.

11. Smith, Swing Time, 325.

Ibid.

When you use a source and then you the same source right after, then use the word Ibid.

Ibid is Latin for ibidem, “in the same place” and it means immediately proceeding.

1. Morrison, Beloved, 3.

2. Morrison, 18. or 2. Ibid., 18.

3. Morrison, 18. or 3. Ibid.

4. Morrison, 24–26. or 4. Ibid., 24–26.

Final Example

Bibliography

Chicago Style - Bibliography

  • In MLA format, we call the Bibliography a Works Cited page.
  • In APA format, we call the Bibliography a Reference page.
  • Like MLA and APA, the citations in the Chicago style Bibliography page always go in alphabetical order.
  • The citation for the Bibliography is slightly different than that of the notes.
  • The best way to get it right, is to find an example, and follow the pattern.
