Chicago Style has specific rules for how a paper is formatted. These rules include where the title goes, page numbers, your name, citations, and more.
- Papers should be double-spaced, except for the footnotes and Bibliography page.
- Page Numbers should be in the upper right, beginning on the first page of text where you have your introduction.
- Use a 12pt font.
- Include a cover page with the title, your name, class name, and date. See the sample paper for details.
