  1. Center for Writing Excellence Turabian Workshop What you can expect from this workshop: • Basic format of a Turabian paper • Formatting footnotes and bibliographical entries

  2. Parts of the Paper Cover page Table of contents List of illustrations/figures Abstract Text Introduction  Conclusion Bibliography *The cover page, text, and bibliography should always be present. The rest should only be there if there is a clear reason. When in doubt, ask your professor.

  3. Basic Formatting Know-How • 1-inch margins all around • 12pt Times New Roman font for main text • Sometimes professors prefer 10pt for footnotes or endnotes • All new paragraphs are indented • After all page labels, leave 2 blank lines before content

  4. Cover Page 1/3 • Title • Centered • All Capital Letters • Single-Spaced • 1/3 of the Way Down the Page • Writer • Course • Professor • Date • Centered • Single-Spaced • 2/3 of the Way Down the Page

  5. Page Numbers • Start on first page of front matter(not the cover page) • Pages before the text (such as a table of contents, abstract, or list of figures) are numbered with lower case Roman numerals. • In this case, the cover page is counted as “i” but not labeled. The following page will be numbered “ii” • On the first page, the number goes in the middle of the bottom page (some professors do not require this) • The following page numbers go on the top right corner • YOUR MAIN CONCERN: Cover page is not numbered and page numbers typically go the top right in the header

  6. Table of Contents • Center CONTENTS on the top of the page • Only necessary if your paper is divided into chapters • Table of Contents starts with the content directly after it and continue with chapters and parts • Do not get too specific (maybe list through your first subheading) • Formatting of headings should match those within your paper

  7. List of Figures, Tables, or Illustrations • Center label on the top of the page • If your list includes only one type of illustration, use that label (For example: TABLES or FIGURES). • Use ILLUSTRATIONS as a label if your list is one page or less and contains multiple types of illustration • List illustrations with number label aligned to the left • Label them with the same way as in your paper

  8. Chapters/Major Headings Center-aligned Bold font or Italics Headline Caps Second Level Headings Center-aligned Not in bold font or Italics Headline Caps Third Level Headings Left-aligned Must be in bold font or italics Headline Caps Divisions and Headings • Fourth level headings • Left-aligned • Not in bold or italics • Sentence-Style Caps • Fifth level headings • (Smallest subdivision) • Bold font or italics • Followed by a period • Sentence-Style Caps * Triple space before new headings & be consistent with bold or italics*
