Turabian is a citation style developed by Kate L. Turabian, primarily used in the fields of humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. It is based on the Chicago Manual of Style and provides guidelines for writing research papers, theses, and dissertations. The Turabian style offers two main citation systems: the Notes-Bibliography system, which is commonly used in literature and history, and the Author-Date system, preferred in the sciences. Each system has specific rules for formatting citations, footnotes, and bibliographies, helping writers properly attribute sources and maintain academic integrity.
