Output Style Instructions

 

QuikBib strives for accuracy in all output styles. We recommend verifying that there are no new style instructions before submitting your paper.  Always check your reference list for accuracy.

 

Turabian 8th Edition (Notes)  (Information on the Style Guide:

http://www.press.uchicago.edu/books/turabian/turabian_citationguide.html

 

There are two Turabian formats – Reference List and Footnotes/Bibliography.  The format used here is Footnotes/Bibliography.

 

Authors:

If there is no author in a reference QuikBib will substitute the word Anonymous as required by Turabian 8th.   The first author name should be entered last name first followed by a comma, first name and middle name followed by a comma.  All other author names should be entered First Middle Last followed by a comma with the last name followed by a period.

 

Titles:

QuikBib applies the required title casing and as such cannot distinguish proper nouns. Carefully check your formatted papers for incorrect casing.  Full title, no ending punctuation.  QuikBib will apply any attributes required along with the required punctuation.

 

Periodical Title:

Use full journal names for the periodical. 

 

Newspaper Title:

A headline or summary, rather than a formal article title, may be capitalized sentence style. Titles of regular departments in a magazine are capitalized headline style but not put in quotation marks.

 

Periodical Volume and Issue:

Journal citations with a volume and no issue, check for stray punctuation. The issue number maybe omitted if the pagination is continuous throughout the volume.

 

Newspaper/Magazine Publication Date:

Month or season if applicable.  Weekly or monthly magazines, even if numbered by volume and issue, are usually cited by date only. The date is not enclosed in parentheses.  Date should appear as follows:  March 2000 

 

Newspaper/Magazine Pages:

If you cite a specific passage in a note, include its page number. But you may omit the article's inclusive page numbers in a reference list entry, since newspaper articles often span many pages that include extraneous material or appear in different locations when different editions are printed.

 

Links/URL:

This field needs to contain the entire URL to the source document, and is used only if you have retrieved the material electronically.

 

For a journal article consulted online, include an access date and a URL. For articles that include a DOI, form the URL by appending the DOI to http://dx.doi.org/ rather than using the URL in your address bar. The DOI for the article in the Brown example below is 10.1086/660696. If you consulted the article in a library or commercial database, you may give the name of the database instead.

 

Retrieved Date:

This data needs to be entered in the field as follows; full month day, 4 digit year, February 17, 2004.

 

Journal Sample:

Brown, Campbell. “Consequentialize This.” Ethics 121, no. 4 (July 2011): 749–71. Accessed December 1, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.1086/660696.

Book Sample (published electronically):

 

If a book is available in more than one format, cite the version you consulted. For books consulted online, include an access date and a URL. If you consulted the book in a library or commercial database, you may give the name of the database instead of a URL. If no fixed page numbers are available, you can include a section title or a chapter or other number.
