The Chicago Manual of Style (also known as Turabian style) is used primarily in the fields of history and the natural sciences.
There are two different ways to use Chicago style:
Notes and bibliography is used in some humanities disciplines such as literature and history.
Author-date system is commonly used in physical, natural, and social sciences.
**Make sure to consult your professor on which method is preferred for your course.**
