A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, Eighth Edition
A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, Eighth Edition: Chicago Style for Students and Researchers | Kate L. Turabian
3 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
A little more than seventy-five years ago, Kate L. Turabian drafted a set of guidelines to help students understand how to write, cite, and formally submit research writing. Seven editions and more than nine million copies later, the name Turabian has become synonymous with best practices in research writing and style. Her Manual for Writers continues to be the gold standard for generations of college and graduate students in virtually all academic disciplines. Now in its eighth edition, A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations has been fully revised to meet the needs of todays writers and researchers. The Manual retains its familiar three-part structure, beginning with an overview of the steps in the research and writing process, including formulating questions, reading critically, building arguments, and revising drafts. Part II provides an overview of citation practices with detailed information on the two main scholarly citation styles (notes-bibliography and author-date), an array of source types with contemporary examples, and detailed guidance on citing online resources. The final section treats all matters of editorial style, with advice on punctuation, capitalization, spelling, abbreviations, table formatting, and the use of quotations. Style and citation recommendations have been revised throughout to reflect the sixteenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style. With an appendix on paper format and submission that has been vetted by dissertation officials from across the country and a bibliography with the most up-to-date listing of critical resources available, A Manual for Writers remains the essential resource for students and their teachers.

I have spent the last two hours at the computer, making changes to a manuscript that hubby was asked to review for the Journal of Applied Microbiology. This is one of those papers that reinforces the stereotype of scientists who can‘t write decent English-and these are native English speakers! Excuse me, data and media are both plural. Run the nails down the chalkboard. I‘m going out for coffee and to read something well written 😄

tournevis Oh, one of those. You might be surprised to learn they are just as common in the Social Sciences and Humanities. You'd think not, but yes. 7y
Lynnsoprano @tournevis Hubby and I were both fortunate in grad school (he‘s a plant pathologist, I was studying music history) to have major professors who demanded excellent writing. I agree, there is bad writing everywhere. 7y
callielafleur A pretty substantial part of my job is reviewing reports before they get issued to customers, and while I am making occasional edits based on content, the majority are grammatical. It's constantly surprising to me how people with significantly more education than I have can be so sloppy with their writing. Not that I'm perfect, but still. 7y

I wish I'd had this to post yesterday, but better late than never. Especially since I just spent the last hour helping my husband input his comments and suggested revisions for a paper he was reviewing 😊 The photo came from my cousin, who shared the family's weird sense of humor.
