Titles are capitalised headline-style (all major words). Where there are four or more authors the footnote should give the name of the first author only, followed by ‘et al.’ The bibliography entry should include the names of all the authors. The first-listed author’s name, according to which the entry is alphabetised in the bibliography, is inverted (last name first). You can print them and download them.In a bibliography entry the elements are separated by periods rather than by commas and the facts of publication are not enclosed in parentheses. They are fully compatible with The Chicago Manual of Style (17th ed.). The T urabian tip sheets illustrate everything you need to know for formatting a student paper in Chicago style. IMPORTANT: Your instructor’s requirements may overrule Chicago’s formatting recommendations! See also section A.2.3.4 in the Turabian appendix on paper format and submission.

For more details, see chapters 16 and 17 in the Turabian Manual. To see what a page of endnotes looks like, consult the sample below. (Note that if you are using author-date style, your paper will not have endnotes.)

Endnotes are also better at accommodating tables, quoted poetry, or anything else that may require extra space. But if your notes are so long or numerous that they take up too much space on the page, endnotes are usually the better choice. Unless your department specifies, use footnotes, which are easier to read. Endnotes appear at the end of the paper rather than at the foot of the page. If you cite your sources in your thesis or dissertation (or class paper) using numbered notes, you may have the option of using endnotes rather than footnotes.
