Kate L. Turabian

A Manual for Writers

of Research Papers, Theses,
and Dissertations

CHICAGO STYLE FOR STUDENTS AND RESEARCHERS

Revised by Wayne C. Booth, Gregory Colomb, Joseph M. Williams, and the University of Chicago Press Editorial Staff

The standard for generations of students and their teachers, revised for a new age.

Kate Turabian literally wrote the book on the successful completion and submission of the student paper. Her Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, created from her years of experience with research projects across all fields, has sold more than eight million copies since it was first published in 1937.

Now, with this seventh edition, Turabian’s Manual has undergone its most extensive revision, ensuring that it will remain the most valuable handbook for writers at every level—from first-year undergraduates, to senior scholars.

• New section written by Craft of Research authors Booth, Colomb, and Williams, covering every aspect of the research and writing process
• Thorough coverage of scholarly citation: standard practices, an expanded array of source types, and hundreds of examples
• Authoritative guidance on all matters of style, updated to reflect The Chicago Manual of Style, fifteenth edition
