Uses and formats of citations in making a term paper:

• Modern Language Association (MLA): the paper in MLA should be typed and double spaced, on a standard 8 ½" x 11" white paper. Likewise, all the margins are also to be set at 1 inch. The header with consecutive page numbering must also appear on the upper right hand corner of each page and 1/2 inch down from the top margin. The title is not really required unless your professor asks for it to be included. In MLA, a title page is generally replaced by starting at the top left hand corner of the first page, including your name, course instructor's name, course name/number and the date.
• American Psychological Association (APA): there are guidelines and overall rules to be followed in writing APA papers and these are as follows: The paper should be typed and double-spaced, on standard 8 ½" x 11" and also set the outside margins at 1 inch.
  Place any of the applicable sections in each page of the paper like the abstract, text, references, appendices, author identification notes, footnotes, tables, figure captions and figures.

The MLA and APA are used at many colleges. It is the instructor's preferences that will determine the required standard for the term paper.

You should check with your instructor before using the Chicago style. Most history professors and some humanities instructors will ask you to use the standard Chicago-style footnotes or endnotes.
