BibTeX style for Turabian-style citations?
March 8, 2009 11:30 AM   Subscribe

I need a comprehensive BibTeX style for the Turabian format.

My high school requires juniors to write their research papers with Turabian-style citations. We have a subscription to NoodleBib, which I'm using to compile my notes, but I'd like to dump it all into my BibTeX and let LaTeX worry about my citations so I don't have to.

Though there are many Chicago BibTeX styles, I've yet to find a comprehensive style for the Turabian format. I'd be grateful for any pointers the hive mind might have.

I'm not really familiar with the differences between Turabian and Chicago Style, but it seems to me the only difference is that endnote/footnote numbers are superscripted. Is there anything else?

If that's the only difference, it should be really easy to adapt a Chicago BibTEX style to Turabian; it probably would only take a single command.

Its a bit odd that they are using a format typically used in historical research papers for a high school project. I shamefully dont know enough about Chicago to put down any differences, but I would suggest you take the time to do it manually, its part of the learning process.

Response by poster: BobbyDigital: The assignment is for an Advanced Placement history course, so it makes some sense. :-)

I thank you both—I'll probably wind up adapting a Chicago style, as you suggest.
