Research Papers -- Sample, Notational Style, etc.

Here is the link to the Chicago Manual of Style Citation Guide, which shows you the proper format for source notes and for bibliography entries.

Also, if you click on this link -- Sample Research Paper -- you will be able to see (as the label suggests) a sample research paper.  All parts of it are formatted properly: title page, body, endnotes, and bibliography. Use this as your guideline to what your paper should look like.  Read the content of the paper to get an idea of the quality of writing and the level of presentation you should try to achieve.
