Turabian Style Quick Tips

Turabian is Chicago adapted for student papers. Confirm notes-bibliography vs author-date, then use this generator as a draft to match your course handout.

  • Confirm whether your course uses notes-bibliography or author-date
  • In notes-bibliography, first citations are full; later notes can be shortened
  • Italicize book and journal titles; put article titles in quotation marks
  • Include DOI or stable URL for online sources when available
  • Match punctuation and order to your instructor’s Turabian edition
  • Always double-check page numbers and publication details
