Turabian Quick Citation Guide
Sample notes show full citations followed by shortened forms that would be used after the first citation. Sample bibliography entries follow the notes. For more details and many more examples, see chapters 16 and 17 of Turabian. (For examples of the same citations using the author-date system, go to Author-Date: Sample Citations.)
This quick citation guide was created using the material from chicagomanualstyle.org as a guide together with the book A Manual for Writers, 9th ed. by Kate L. Turabian. The following examples illustrate the notes and bibliography style.
