Here are the basic guidelines for Chicago Style: Include your name, your instructor's name, the course, and the date in the upper left-hand corner of the first page. Double-space the text. 12 point font, Times New Roman is recommended. Page numbers in the header of the first page (not title page, first page of paper)
Short form information should include the author's last name, a shortened version of the title (if longer than four words), and any other directing information, such as page numbers.
Short notes After you have provided full information about a source in the first note, subsequent notes that reference the same source need only include the author's last name, a shortened version of the title (a short phrase, not more than four words if possible), and the page number.
If “last modified” date for web document is not shown, in its place, use the term “accessed” followed by the date you viewed the document. Basic pattern for web documents: #. Author first name and last name, "Title of Web Document," Title of Website, date of document or last modified date, URL.
Short form information should include the author's last name, a shortened version of the title (if longer than four words), and any other directing information, such as page numbers.
Overall page layout One inch margins on sides, top and bottom. Use Times or Times New Roman 12 pt font. Double-space the text of the paper. Use left-justified text, which will have a ragged right edge. Use a 1/2" indent for paragraph beginnings, block quotes and hanging (bibliography) indents.
Month, day: Spell out the month and use figures for the day: “The symposium took place April 2.” Avoid the use of figures for the month, as in “1/2/2011,” which could be read as either January 2 or February 1. Month, year: If month, day, and year are present, set off the year with matching commas.
Access Date Chicago style does not recommend including access dates in the citation, unless no date of publication or last revision for the source may be located.
