Turabian Citation Style Formatting Tips

  • Use Hanging Indent citations [in Word, highlight text, right click, select Paragraph, and choose “Hanging” under Indentation: ]
  • Footnotes are used lieu of In-Text citations, but In-Text citations are more common for use on this campus.
  • List your references or sources used beginning on a new page, not following the conclusion paragraph(s).
  • Turabian style requires Bibliography as the heading of the works cited page.
  • Center the heading Bibliography at the top of the works cited page.
  • List references alphabetically by author/editor last name.  If no author/editor is present, alphabetize by title of the work.
  • Double space citations [in Word, highlight text, right click, select Paragraph, and choose “Double” under Spacing: ]
  • Double space between each reference listed.
