When using the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS a.k.a. CMS), note that it is typically used by people writing in or publishing in the field of history. While some other disciplines may use the writing style, APA is the primary formatting style for most disciplines (MLA is also used). Always check with your instructor before starting any paper.

Since CMS is used to publish, different publications have different requirements. In the realm of college, CMS is done according to your instructor’s preferences. It is fluid in a way. The template below is one that you can use and change according to instructor preferences.
