Need help with formatting citations? Use this brief guide to Chicago/Turabian Style.

Citation Format: PRINT articles. B=bibliography N=footnote

**If your article is from JSTOR, or was originally published in print form, use the print format**
From Turabian 7th Edition, page 183:
Most journal citations include volume number, issue number or month, and year.

The volume number follows the journal title- no punctuation intervening.
Spell out the full month.
do NOT include "Vol."  Simply enter the number.
do NOT include "Issue." If there is an issue number, insert a comma, the abbreviation "no." and the number.
do NOT capitalize the number abbrev. it's lowercase "no."
if you don't have a volume number, just put the issue number. ex: Journal no. 8 (Feb 2004)...

For online journals that *only* exist online, follow the same citation style for print, with the addition of the article URL (link), and the date you accessed the material.
