There is no page number on\nthe title page. If you are writing a thesis then your thesis statement should appear in the first paragraph at this point, and you will use raised Arabic numerals to cite your sources in footnotes at the bottom of the page. This is the Chicago Style. Your word processor will insert these footnotes and format them for you.\nThere are more than fifteen styles extant for various disciplines, but the MLA, the APA, and the Chicago Style are the most widely used. Most of the English-speaking world uses a variant of the Chicago style because it maintains cleaner text and allows more flexible access to both sources and ancillary material, thus promoting a more critical and interactive reading of the text.\nFor this class, include the word count at the bottom of the final page of the manuscript\nbody. You may finish your manuscript with an optional separate page for the Works Cited if\nyou wish, where you can list the sources you used in writing the manuscript.\nUse the symbol “ibid.” in your footnotes when you are referring to the same\nsource as the previous citation, and add the page number if different. This, too, is optional,\nbut can be a short cut. You may also simply quote the author’s name and page number in\nthis case.\nA solid, thorough handbook such as the Chicago Manual of Style Online\ntool.
