Simply put, “Turabian” is shorthand for the widely-accepted academic style guide originally published by Kate L. Turabian of the University of Chicago. Like any other style guide, Turabian prescribes specific citation styles and page layout specifications for academic writing.

You don’t need to do this alone.

Rather than spending time that you could be using for writing and researching with the details of page layout, you can use a Word template with predefined styles that follow the Turabian guidelines.
