Can someone explain Chicago Manual Format?

Question

I have to write a paper in the "Chicago Manual Formatting" and I have no idea what guidelines it follows! I need specifics, PLEASE. All I know is it is a way of citing. Somewhere I could get examples would be great. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!

Answer 1

It uses endnotes at the end of every chapter (to include your remarks as the writer that you won't put in the text discussions). Other than that, you also include the Bibliography at the end of the chapters. Check out these sites for actual examples and "how-to":

Answer 2

Its also called Turabian style, used mostly in the history departments at colleges. It consists of using endnotes and footnotes instead of intext citations. Look up turabian style as well.
