Chicago/Turabian Styles

The Chicago Manual of Style is published by the University of Chicago Press. The seventeenth edition has been in use since 2017. Turabian refers to the simpler, student version of Chicago style for use in academic writing not intended for publication. The Chicago/Turabian style is typically used in history, physical, and natural sciences and allows for two different approaches to citation.

  • Author-Date Format
    • Features parenthetical in-text citation and reference list that concludes document.
  • Notes-Bibliography Format
    • Features numbered in-text citation which directs to bottom-of-the-page citation notes and a bibliography.
