The Turabian manual describes two basic styles for citing sources. For the humanities, writers usually use the version of Turabian with footnotes in the text of the document, and a bibliography listing all the works cited in the document. For the sciences, Author-Date short form citations are used in the text of the document, and a Reference List of the works cited in the document is included at the end of the paper.

For Turabian style with footnotes and a Bibliography, you will also want to add a page break at the end of the document. This is because Citation writes the bibliography for the works cited to the end of the document, and, in most cases, you will want your bibliography on a separate page.
