Chicago/Turabian Style Citation Guide:

When creating a bibliography for your research paper, be aware that there are a variety of citation styles you can choose from. Be sure to ask your instructor about the citation style you may be expected to use for a particular class. University of Chicago/Turabian, MLA (Modern Language Association) and APA (American Psychological Association) are three of the most commonly used citation styles.
