Turabian 9th Edition Guide
The student-focused adaptation of Chicago Manual of Style. Standard for History, Humanities, and Social Sciences.
What is Turabian 9th Edition?
Turabian Style is the student-focused adaptation of the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS). The 9th edition, published in April 2018, is the current standard for undergraduate and graduate students writing research papers, theses, and dissertations in humanities and social sciences.
When your professor says "use Turabian format," they mean your paper must follow these exact rules. Get even one rule wrong (like footnote formatting or margins), and your paper may be returned ungraded or lose points.
