Editor's Notes
- #14: The Turabian style is a citing and referencing system based on the Chicago style - it is named after Kate Turabian from the University of Chicago who authored a manual to guide students in citing and referencing when writing research papers.You can find copies of this manual in the Monash University Library.There are two different ways Turabian referencing can be done. The one you will be using is the Notes / Bibiography footnote system. Notes may be either at the foot of each page (footnotes).
