Maggiori informazioni sul libro
For nearly sixty years, Kate L. Turabian's Manual for Writers has provided detailed guidance for authors of research papers, including term papers, theses, and dissertations. The editors of The Chicago Manual of Style have revised this manual to align with the fourteenth edition of The Chicago Manual. This new edition reflects contemporary student practices, acknowledging the impact of personal computers on paper preparation and presentation. The book's familiar organization remains largely intact. Chapter 1 outlines the components of a long formal paper, while Chapters 2-5 cover writing mechanics, from abbreviations to quotations. Chapters 6 and 7 focus on preparing and referencing tables and illustrations. The documentation section, Chapters 8-12, details two widely used citation systems, offering numerous examples, including how to cite electronic documents. Chapter 13 addresses manuscript preparation, emphasizing the effective use of word processing software. Chapter 14 presents over two dozen sample pages showcasing formatting for complex research paper features. Authoritative and user-friendly, this edition is poised to be the standard for another generation of students and educators. Kate Turabian (1893-1987) served as dissertation secretary at the University of Chicago from 1930 to 1958, becoming a notable figure in American higher education.
