Chicago/Turabian style is a way of citing your sources in your work.
What's the difference between Chicago and Turabian?

Citing in Chicago/Turabian
There are two ways to cite in Chicago/Turabian: the Author-Date style and the Notes-Bibliography (NB) style. Check with your teacher to see which they prefer.
Should I useAuthor-Date or Notes-Bibliography?
The Author-Date system is used by students writing papers that will not be formally published. Here, you cite your sources briefly in parentheses using the author’s last name and the year of publication. Each in-text citation is listed more fully in your reference list at the end.
The Notes-Bibliography system is used by professional researchers and academics. In this system, you cite your sources using numbered footnotes and endnotes. Each of these has a superscript number in the text. You also list your sources in a separate bibliography.
