Manual for writers of research papers, theses, and dissertations : Chicago style for students and researchers / by 
The Chicago manual of style. by Kate Turabian, the dissertation secretary at the University of Chicago for over 30 years, developed her guide for students and researchers writing papers, theses, and dissertations. Her manual is based on the University of Chicago Press's Manual of Style and departs from it in few places. "Turabian," as her guide is called, synthesizes the rules most important for students' papers and other scholarly research not intended for publication, and omits some of the publishing details and options that "Chicago" provides. This style is often used in the history, theology, and other areas of the humanities.
