At the point in your paper where you wish to cite another author's work, place a number in the text. Either parentheses or a superscript can be used for this in-text number. Some word processors will generate the numbers for you. Footnotes are numbered sequentially according to the order of their appearance in the text. The actual footnote will be written in the footer of the page, indented by five spaces if a superscript number has been used.
A Turabian footnote for a published book follows the following format: Author Name, Title (City of Publication: Publisher, date), page number. The author's name is written in full, with the first name before the family name. The title of the book is written in italics. The date and page number are written numerically.
A Turabian footnote for an article in a journal, newspaper or magazine follows the following format: Author Name, "Article Title," Journal Name, issue number (date of publication): page number. The title of the article is not italicized; the name of the journal is written in italics. The date of publication may be a season, for example, "Summer 2008."
If an item has two or three authors, their full names should be written in a list. If there are more than three authors, name the first and then write "et al." An item with an editor or translator should include the abbreviation "ed." or "trans." after the item's title, followed by the person's full name. Websites can be cited using the publisher of the website as the author and the site's name as the title. For web resources, you need to include the full web address, the date it was last updated, the phrase "Internet;" and the date you accessed the information.
