Turabian style is essentially Chicago style, with slight modifications for student writers. As with Chicago there are two citation styles:
1) notes-bibliography style (bibliography style) - which uses footnotes/endnotes and a bibliography.
2) author-date style - which uses in-text citations and a references list.
Bibliography style is used in literature, history, and the arts. Author-date style is used in the physical, natural, and social sciences.
