Chicago Endnotes

A Few Basic Guidelines from Keys for Writers

  • List all endnotes, double-spaced, on a separate numbered page at the end of your paper.

  • Number the notes sequentially, as they appear in the paper.

  • Indent the first line of each entry three to five spaces.

  • Use the author's fist name, not inverted, followed by a comma and the title of the work.

  • Underline book titles and put quotation marks around article titles.

  • Follow a book title with publishing information in parentheses followed by a comma and the page.
