Chicago is a citation style that is widely used in the humanities,arts, and history. Turabian is a modified form of Chicago style aimed at students.
Both Chicago and Turabian include two different citation systems:
- the Notes-Bibliography system (which uses endnotes or footnotes)
- the Parenthetical Citation system (which uses in-text citations).
