The 7th edition is the most recent version of the Turabian style of writing.  It is based on the Chicago Manual style of writing and offers two styles of writing:

1. Notes-Bibligraphy system (bibliography style) - commonly used in literature, history, and the arts, and presents bibliographic information in footnotes or endnotes, and usually a bibliography.
   
2. Parenthetical citations-Reference list system (reference list style) - more concise, commonly used in the physical, natural, and social sciences, and presents sources briefly cited in parenthesis in the text by the author's last name and date of publication. Full bibliography information is also provided in a reference list.
