Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations: Chicago Style for Students & Researchers

Students writing research papers, theses, and dissertations in universities are now living in a world full of electronic technologies, which was unimaginable in 1937 when Kate L.

Turabian, Director of Academic Dissertations, first compiled a pamphlet to guide student writers at the University of Chicago.Practical word processing software and new digital resources have changed the way students conduct research and write papers.

However, these technologies cannot change the basic tasks of student writers:Research should be well designed; elaboration shall be accurate and clear; citation, style and format should follow the recognized academic standards.
