Kate Turabian’s manual is structured in three parts: The first edition was published in 1937, and since then it has been updated regularly to align with the latest edition of The Chicago Manual of Style. In her Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, she simplified the contents of The Chicago Manual of Style for students and researchers. The Turabian Style Guide was developed by Kate Larimore Turabian, a graduate school dissertation secretary and editor at the University of Chicago. In this article, we discuss the Turabian style guide to use while citing your research papers, dissertation, or thesis. 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 research paper). There are a number of different style guides, which provide instructions on how to acknowledge the work and ideas of others.

Whenever you refer to another work, or idea in a written document, it is important to cite the source.
