A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, Ninth Edition: Chicago Style for Students and Researchers (Revised)

Write your academic papers with grace, style, and grammatical acumen with A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations: Chicago Style for Students & Researchers, 9th Edition. Featuring helpful rules for researching, organizing your paper, engaging sources, drafting, revising your draft, citation practices, notes-bibliography style, and more, this helpful guide will take the hardship out of the format of writing, and allow you to focus on your content. Part 1 covers every step of the research and writing process, including drafting and revising. Part 2 offers a comprehensive guide to Chicago's two methods of source citation: notes-bibliography and author-date. Part 3 covers matters of editorial style and the correct way to present quotations and visual material.

This new edition filters decades of expertise into modern standards. While previous editions incorporated digital forms of research and writing, this edition goes even further to build information literacy, recognizing that most students will be doing their work largely or entirely online and on screens. Chapters include updated advice on finding, evaluating, and citing a wide range of digital sources and also recognize the evolving use of software for citation management, graphics, and paper format and submission. The ninth edition is fully aligned with the recently released Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition, as well as with the latest edition of The Craft of Research.
