Citations & Plagiarism

Turabian is based on the Chicago Manual of Style by Kate Turabian.  The two styles are so similar, they are often grouped together.  The main difference between the two styles, besides minor puncuation rules, is that Turabian has been adapted to suit the needs of students whereas Chicago focuses more on publication.  For more specific information on Turabian style, please refer to the manual in the FIU Libraries.

Turabian, Kate L. A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations: Chicago Style for Students and Researchers. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2007.

This excellent handout contains the particulars of both the Turabian and Chicago styles and elucidates the differences between the two systems.  UC Berkeley's guide also provides numerous examples for how to create in-text citations and create a reference list.
