When Kate L. Turabian first put her famous guidelines to paper, 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, the 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. This new edition filters decades of expertise into modern
standards. While previous editions incorporated digital forms of
research and writing, this edition goes even further to build
information literacy, recognizing that most students will be doing
their work largely or entirely online and on screens. Chapters include
updated advice on finding, evaluating, and citing a wide range of
digital sources and also recognize the evolving use of software for
citation management, graphics, and paper format and submission. The
ninth edition is fully aligned with the recently released Chicago
Manual of Style, 17th edition, as well as with the latest edition of
The Craft of Research. Teachers and users of the previous editions
will recognize the familiar three-part structure. Part 1 covers every
step of the research and writing process, including drafting and
revising. Part 2 offers a comprehensive guide to Chicago’s two
methods of source citation: notes-bibliography and author-date. Part 3
gets into matters of editorial style and the correct way to present
quotations and visual material. A Manual for Writers also covers an
issue familiar to writers of all levels: how to conquer the fear of
tackling a major writing project. Through eight decades and millions
of copies, A Manual for Writers has helped generations shape their
ideas into compelling research papers. This new edition will continue
to be the gold standard for college and graduate students in virtually
all academic disciplines.
