Here are the facts.

The Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) is comprised of two styles: Author / Date and Notes / Bibliography. Our case focuses on Notes & Bibliography.

For the purpose of our case, when I reference "Chicago Style" in the case files I am referring to the Notes & Bibliography style. The Chicago Style Notes-Bibliography System is used by academics in the fields of literature, history, and the arts. You also use this style in your History classes. 

In Chicago Style, footnotes are used but are formatted differently from the bibliography. The footnotes are presented at the bottom of the corresponding page in the order in which they appear in the text, while the full list of sources are alphabetical in the bibliography.

When you add a footnote to your document, the superscript number must be place directly after what you are referencing with the footnote note coming at the bottom of the page.

Adding a footnote to your Google Doc is easy. Simply click where you want the footnote, then go to Insert > Page elements > Footnote. It will automatically add a superscripted number and provide room at the bottom of the page for your footnote!
