Chicago notes and list of works cited
Sample Chicago notes and works-cited entries
In the Chicago note style, a raised numeral in the text refers the reader to source information in endnotes or footnotes. In these notes, the first citation of each source contains all the information readers need to find the source. Thus, a list of works cited may be considered optional because it provides much of the same information as the notes. Ask your instructor whether you should use footnotes or endnotes and whether you should include a list of works cited.
Whether providing footnotes or endnotes, use single spacing for each note and double spacing between notes, as shown in the samples below. Separate footnotes from the text with a short line. Place endnotes on a page by themselves at the end of the paper. For a list of sources at the end of the paper, use the format shown below. Arrange the sources alphabetically by the author’s last names.
The samples included in this section of the Web site show notes followed by works-cited entries. Be sure to use the numbered note form for notes and the unnumbered works-cited form for works-cited entries.
