You finally finished writing your research paper that is due at midnight. The only step left to complete this assignment is a cover page...but what does a Chicago style cover pagelook like?

Just like any other citation style, Chicago has its own rules. But there is no need to be overwhelmed!

A citation style is a set of guidelines for formatting and organizing references in academic settings.

The Chicago style is the preferred citation and style guide used in disciplines such as history, philosophy, religion, and the arts.

According to Chicago set of guidelines, a cover page is required for all research papers.

1. Center the title, a third of the way down the page.

2. Double space each line on the title page, including the title.

3. Your name, course information, professor's name, and date should follow a few lines after the title.

Make sure to:

• Remove the page number from your title page. Here is a tutorial on removing page numbers on Word. If you're using Google Docs to write your assignment, you can instead check out this guide on removing page numbers on Google Docs.

• Use a readable font, preferably Times New Roman, 12 pt.
