Chicago/Turabian: Bibliography

From PhillipsWiki

Although many people differentiate between Chicago and Turabian styles, they are, in fact, very similar. The Chicago Manual of Style refers to the particular rules governing writing whereas Turabian refers to the particular way of documenting the sources.

Kate Turabian was the dissertation secretary at the University of Chicago from 1930 until 1958 and held final approval on the presentation of Masters’ Theses and Dissertations. She based her decisions on the Chicago Manual of Style -- a standard of academic writing style at the time and still in publication today.

Turabian style refers to the specific ordering and presentation of footnotes, endnotes, and bibliographies using the Chicago Manual of Style as a guideline. In other words, Turabian’s book, A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations is a shortened version of the Chicago Manual. A new edition was recently published reflecting the changes of information and article presentation for the 21st century.

Basic Rules (Don't Ignore!)

• Label the top of your paper with the term Bibliography. All entries should be single spaced.
• This list, alphabetized by authors' last names, should appear at the end of your paper/project. It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate any sources you cited in your writing.
• Authors' names are inverted (last name, first); if a work has more than one author, invert only the first author's name, follow it with a comma, then continue listing the rest of the authors.
• If there is no author listed, start your entry with the title of the work
• Capitalize the first letter of each word in the main title and subtitle (if applicable) of books and articles
• The first line of each entry in your list should be flush left. Subsequent lines should be indented one-half inch. This is called a hanging indent.
• Every work that you cite in your paper should be included in your bibliography. Also include any works that were important to your thinking when preparing your paper/project.
