Turabian Style: In-Text (Parenthetical) Citations & Reference List

The Turabian citation style offers two different documentation systems. Writers in the natural, physical, and social sciences commonly employ a system that links in-text author and date information with a reference list:

(IT) In-Text Author & Date Information Parentheses should enclose in-text references. When page numbers are required, they should be separated by a comma.

 (R) Reference List.  The first line should begin flush with the left margin, with following lines in the entry indented five spaces.
