Using “Ibid” The only Latin phrase still allowed by Turabian is ibid (in the same place) Example – 31. Doe, Missing Person, 33 32. Ibid., 87. 33. Ibid. Section 16.4.2

Formatting the Footnote A short rule line should appear between the text and the footnote section If a footnote runs over to the next page break it in midsentence so readers know it continues on the next page There are blank spaces between footnotes. Section 16.3.4.1

Formatting the Bibliography Page The bibliography is numbered consecutively with main paper Title the page Bibliography, centered, but don’t use the title over again on successive pages Leave two blank lines between the title of the page and the first entry The bibliography is arranged alphabetically according to the author’s last name Leave a blank line between entries Section A.2.3.5

Formatting the Bibliography Page When the bibliography includes two or more works written, edited or translated by the same person arrange them alphabetically by title For multiple entries the first entry gets the author, editor, or translator name. All the following entries get a long dash followed by a comma (page 148) The first line of an entry is flush left Subsequent lines are indented Section 16.2, Figure A.15

Citing Sources – When to Cite Usually Cite a Source for Ideas Not Your Own This does not mean widely accepted and familiar ideas but rather An idea that is associated with a specific person An idea which is new enough not to be part of a field’s common knowledge Overarching Principle Cite a source for an idea not your own whenever an informed reader might think you’re implying that it is your own (Section 7.9)

Putting Quotes in Your Text (1) A quote of four (4) lines or fewer runs in the text, in quotation marks A quote of five (5) lines or more is set off in a block quotation without quotation marks Block Quotations Single space a block quotation Leave a blank line before it and after it Indent the entire quotation as far as you indent the first line of a paragraph (Sections 7.5 & 25.2.2)

Putting Quotes in Your Text (2) Placement of Superscript Number If the quotation is at the end of a sentence put the number after the closing quotation mark. If the quotation ends in the middle of a sentence, put the number at the end of the clause that includes the quotation (Section 25)
