What is the difference between Chicago and Turabian?
You should use whichever one your professor requests, but in brief, the Chicago Manual of Style covers specifications to authors for preparing manuscripts for publication. Kate Turabian was the dissertations secretary at the University of Chicago graduate school for many years. She wrote her Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Dissertations, and Theses as an adaptation of the Chicago Style for graduate students. So, it follows the Chicago Style closely, but covers the unique needs of students writing formal papers.
