When Kate Turabian first put her famous guidelines to paper in 1937, she could hardly have imagined the world in which today's students would be conducting research. Yet while the ways in which we research and compose papers may have changed, fundamentals remain the same: writers need to have a strong research question, construct an evidence-based argument, cite their sources, and structure their work in a logical way. A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, also known as "Turabian," remains one of the most popular books for writers because of its timeless focus on achieving these goals. It covers every step of the research and writing process, offers a comprehensive guide to the two methods of Chicago-style source citation: notes-bibliography and author-date; and reviews matters of editorial style and the correct way to present quotations and visual material. The 9th edition of Manual for Writers continues to be the gold standard for college and graduate students in virtually all academic disciplines. -- adapted from back cover.
