Whats New in Turabian 9th Edition

What’s New in Turabian 9th Edition (5) Attention, Turabian lovers! Earlier this year, the 9th edition of A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, otherwise known as “Turabian,” was launched and listed new guidelines for formatting citations. We at , carefully reviewed the updates and identified two important changes we believe you need to know before jumping in to write your next research paper. Keep in mind that Turabian style is a companion to Chicago Manual of style. The changes in the 9th edition of Turabian reflect the changes published in the 17th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style. Like Chicago style, Turabian has two distinct types of citation formatting rules: Author-Date and Note-Bibliography. Always check with your instructor if you are unsure of which type to use in your paper. Changes in Author-Date Style The publication year can now be repeated in some types of citations.   The year can now be repeated in citations that include the publication month and day. Jennings, Ralph. 2018. “Taiwans Once Mighty High-Tech Sector Is Falling Behind Because of Low Pay.”  Forbes, February 15, 2018.

If the website has a print counterpart, such as the website for a newspaper, the title should be in italics. If it does not, it should not be in italics. Examples: The New York Times Gizmodo Use of “ibid.” is no longer encouraged. Ibid is the abbreviated version of the Latin word ibidem, meaning “in the same place.” Previously, if you used the same source two times or more in a note, you could use ibid instead of re-listing the same information. Now, according to the new 9th edition, you should include a shortened footnote citation. To avoid repetition, the title of a work that has just been cited may be left out.
