There are a number of different style guides, which provide instructions on how to acknowledge the work and ideas of others. The style guide you should use will depend on the preferences of your academic institution (in the case of a thesis or dissertation), or the journal to which you are submitting (in the case of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enago.com\/submission-preparation.htm\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"18\" title=\"Research paper\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">research paper<\/a>). In this article, we discuss the Turabian style guide to use while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.read.enago.com\/?utm_source=academy&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=keywords&amp;utm_term=article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">citing your research papers<\/a>, dissertation, or thesis.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Turabian Style Guide?<\/h2>\n<p>The Turabian Style Guide was developed by Kate Larimore Turabian, a graduate school dissertation secretary and editor at the University of Chicago. In her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.press.uchicago.edu\/books\/turabian\/turabian_citationguide.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><em>Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em>she simplified the contents of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chicagomanualofstyle.org\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><em>The Chicago Manual of Style<\/em><\/a> for students and researchers. The first edition was published in 1937, and since then it has been updated regularly to align with the latest edition of <em>The Chicago Manual of Style.<\/em> It is now in its eighth edition.<\/p>\n<p>Kate Turabian\u2019s manual is structured in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.press.uchicago.edu\/books\/turabian\/manual\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">three parts<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A thorough introduction to research writing<\/li>\n<li>Full explanation of the two main scholarly citation styles (notes-bibliography and author-date)<\/li>\n<li>Comprehensive guidance on editorial style, including punctuation, capitalization, spelling, and table formatting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The notes-bibliography and author-date citation styles are similar, apart from their use of notes (notes-bibliography) or parenthetical references (author-date) within the text. In this article, these two citation styles are outlined in detail and the use of both styles is illustrated with specific examples.<\/p>\n<p>Turabian style is used by students from Business, History, and the Fine Arts whose research papers are not intended for publication. According to the latest edition, the\u00a0font size should be 12 point in either Arial or Times New Roman font style.<\/p>\n<h2>Are Turabian and Chicago Style Same?<\/h2>\n<p>While Turabian and Chicago Styles are nearly identical, the former aims to simplify some of the aspects of the latter for students writing research papers not intended for publication.<\/p>\n<p>Both these styles are different in numbering system for notes. Chicago style uses a number in parentheses followed by a period, a space and then the source information (1. Chicago Manual of Style). Turabian style uses superscript\u00b9 in the text of the paper and in the footnotes. Additionally, the superscript number is followed by the source information (\u00b9Turabian Style).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagomanualofstyle.org\/turabian\/citation-guide.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Turabian citation guide<\/a> includes usage of different citation systems (Author-Date or Notes-Bibliography). Therefore, you should check your assignment instructions to determine the system your instructor wants you to use.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the Two Forms of Turabian Style?<\/h2>\n<p>There are two forms of Turabian Style of referencing:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Notes-bibliography Style<\/li>\n<li>Author-date Style<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>How Do You Write &#8220;Notes-Bibliography&#8221; in Turabian Style?<\/h3>\n<p>The notes-bibliography format of the Chicago\/Turabian citation style is used widely in the humanities and in most fields in social sciences. Furthermore, this style presents bibliographic information in footnotes or endnotes. In most cases, a bibliography is provided. The <a href=\"http:\/\/guides.lib.monash.edu\/citing-referencing\/turabian\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">general format<\/a> is an indication of cited sources within the text by a superscript number, which comes after the full stop. Source information is provided in a correspondingly numbered list at the end. Specific examples are provided below and more examples can be found here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Book with Two or More Authors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Citation: Lunsford, Andrea, and Lisa Ede. <em>Singular Texts\/Plural Authors: Perspectives on Collaborative Writing<\/em>.

Furthermore, this style briefly cites each source in parentheses within the text using the author&#8217;s last name and date of publication.
