For Style, References
and
Bibliography, please use
Turabian (Kate Larimore Turabian, 1893-1987).
I encourage the use of footnotes rather than endnotes. Place
bibliographical
information on separate pages at the end of your paper. Pay attention
to the
different styles for organizing footnote information and
bibliographical
information. For consistency purposes I encourage you to use the Times
Roman Font Collection, in 12 point. Use italics for the older
typesetting underline feature.
Primary Sources:
References to Bible
Books, Chapters and Verses
should be
included in the body text in parentheses not in footnotes, eg. (Gen
32:8). Abbreviate the Bible book. Note the punctuation with quotation
marks. "And there was evening and there was morning, the first day"
(Gen 1:5). If it
is important, you may indicate in a footnote which translation you are
employing.
Note punctuation, quotation marks and numbered note at the end of
sentences:
"And there was evening and there was morning, the first day" (Gen 1:5).2
Note punctuation of commas and quotation marks in the body of your
text, in footnotes and bibliographical notations.
Michael Kolarcik calls the book "The Wisdom of Solomon," but also "The
Book of Wisdom."
With a footnote numerical notation, note the order of punctuation: eg.
The reference is "The
Wisdom of Solomon,"7 but on other occasions it is called
"The Book of Wisdom."8
(The European style is
usually the opposite: ". ", so please do NOT
use that style at the University of Toronto)
But note the colon and semi-colon are placed after quotation
marks: "; ":
Indent your paragraphs, with no extra space between paragraphs. Make
sure your pages are numbered.
(A new digital model for writing has developed whereby paragraphs are
not indented but separated by a line-space. But that form should only
be used with single spacing)
The body text should be double-spaced. Footnotes and bibliography
should be single spaced with a single line-space separating the entries.
Always provide a cover
page with the relevant information.

Here is an example of Turabian from the University of Toronto website on writing: <http://www.utoronto.ca/writing/document.html>
When Hamlet protests to his mother, "Leave wringing of your hands" (III.iv.35),1 he is naming a universally recognizable gesture. As Singh says, similar broad physical movements are "still the most direct way of indicating inner turmoil."2 Zygmundi confirms their continuing usefulness in contemporary productions of other sixteenth-century plays.3 Renaissance audiences would have recognized hand-wringing as a signal for inner distress,4 specifically for a condition that the Elizabethan author Reynolds named "ague of the spirits."5

Reynolds, The Player's

Gibson, 1998),

Note that titles of articles in
journals, chapters in collection books, or entries in dictionaries and
encyclopedias are placed in quotation marks, and the comma precedes the
closing quotation mark, see note 2 above as an example. Notice in
Singh's title the name Hamlet was italicized only because it was so in
the original title.
For bibliographical entries:
The full article title, which is followed by a period, should be placed within quotation marks. Place the period within the quotation marks. Use headline-style capitalization for the article title. If the title or subtitle ends with an exclamation point or question mark, do not place a period or comma after it. If the article title is in a foreign language, use sentence-style capitalization in accordance with that language's conventions. You may include an English translation of a foreign language title in brackets, outside of the quotations that surround the untranslated title.
Exclamation or Question marks in titles:footnote 5John Smith and Jane Doe, "Los estudios en teología hispánica," [Studies in Spanish Theology] Theological Studies 12 (2009): 79.
entry
Note that when you footnote an
article or a book more than once, you may abbreviate the information
given. For instance, if the second footnote reference above is
repeated, you could simply write:
Jasmine
Singh, "Renovating Hamlet,"
435. If the surname of the author is unique for your paper just use the
SURNAME and if only one work is being referenced by that author you
need not even mention the title. So your footnote could be as short as
Singh, 435.
The guiding principle here should be to facilitate your reader in
identifying your sources. Do not overdo information so as to clutter
your footnotes with repeated information, and do not confuse your
readers or leave them in the dark with too little information.

author's name is given by SURNAME, NAMES, whereas all subsequent
authors are given by NAMES SURNAME. Some publishers, especially
European, prefer to capitalize the surnames and even insist on small

[Notice that when page
numbers are provided in both footnotes or bibliographical references
for articles in journals a colon precedes the page numbers, (1985):
234-323. Whereas for books or articles collected in books a
comma is used for footnotes and of course a period is used for
bibliographical references to introduce page numbers.]
If a book
is available in more than one format, cite the version you consulted.
For books consulted online, list a URL; include an access date only if
one is required by your publisher or discipline. If no fixed page
numbers are available, you can include a section title or a chapter or
other number.
Online sources that are analogous to print sources (such as articles published in online journals, magazines, or newspapers) should be cited similarly to their print counterparts but with the addition of a URL and an access date. For online or other electronic sources that do not have a direct print counterpart (such as an institutional Web site or a Weblog), give as much information as you can in addition to the URL and access date.
