How to Cite a Group Report in Turabian Style

A group report is a study that combines the talents of several specialists to approach a problem or issue. Group reports often are written by one of the group members or published by an organization, but they may be credited to several authors. The exact format for citing a group report according to Turabian style guidelines depends on whether it has been published as a book or published on the Internet.
