Turabian Quick Guide From the University of Chicago Press, this brief five-page online guide (link above) outlines the basics of "Turabian style" (8th ed.), which "are essentially the same as those presented in the Chicago Manual of Style, sixteenth edition, with slight modifications for the needs of student writers."
Help from the University of Chicago Press. See especially Chapter 17 and the Quick Guide.
When writing a research paper it is important to properly cite your resources. Consider using a citation management software, such as Endnote, to simplify the process of collecting, organizing, and formatting your citations. The Libraries offers group instruction or individual consultation for EndNote. See the EndNote LibGuide for more info.
The Chicago Manual of Style by Chicago and Turabian are very similar with some subtle differences. Be sure to use the appropriate guide as assigned by your professor.
Most of the Library article databases have an option to cite an article. Look for it, and save time.
