Help!! I know someone out there in Techwhirler Land can help me
(you've just gotta! I've already bragged how helpful you all are!
<grin>).
One of the software products that my company produces is a
bibliographic management database. This program is used by people
submitting papers in various fields and to various publications. We
support over a hundred bibliographic formats already (including
Vancouver, MLA, APA), but do not support Chicago or Turabian.
What I need to know is this:
What is the bibliographic format required when submitting a paper in
Chicago A, Chicago B and Turabian formats? I need to know what the
format is for journal references for both in-text and numeric
citations. If you do not know the answers, do you know where I can
look (for example, does the Chicago Manual of Style answer the
Chicago A/B questions)?
Thanks for your help! Please email me privately, since I don't want
to take up any additional bandwidth with the replies that I just know
are gonna be flooding in! <grin>
