The Works Cited lists the sources used in writing the paper using the author-date system. In Turabian the rules for a Bibliography and a Works Cited have many similarities (see 9.2). When formatting sources for inclusion in a Works Cited, students should follow the Reference List (RL) guidelines presented in Turabian (see chapters 10, 11, and 12).

The Author-Date System

(10.2) When the author-date system is used, references should be arranged alphabetically by authors' family names (see 10.20) and chronologically within groups of works by the same author or same set of authors following the Turabian guidelines for alphabetization (see 9.14 - 9.32). To aid in the location of a specific work, the year of publication immediately follows the authors' names. The reference list (RL) is placed at the end of the paper and bears the title WORKS CITED, which is typed in bold and in all capital letters.

(10.23) In reference list (RL) entries the information elements are in the same order as in bibliographies, except for the year of publication (see 10.25 and 10.32). The elements are separated by periods, each of which is followed by a double space to facilitate the readability of the document. The reference list entry is meant to identify a work in full bibliographical detail: name(s) of author(s), year of publication, full title of article and/or work, place of publication (city and state), publisher, and particular location-page, section, or other segment-from which the writer of the paper has taken material cited in the text (see 9.7). The reference list (RL) is single-spaced with one blank line between entries. The first line of each entry is flush with the left margin, and any runover or subsequent lines are indented 0.05" (called a hanging indent) (see 9.8).

(10.24) Reference list (RL) entries begin with the author's family (last) name because reference lists are arranged in alphabetical order by family names of authors (see 9.9). When there are two or more authors' names, only the first author's name is inverted in order to alphabetize the items. The authors' names following the first author's name are presented in normal order: first name, middle initial, and family (last) name (see 9.10):

Daft, Richard L.

Hammer, Michael, and James Champy.

(10.25) For ease of locating an item in the reference list (RL), the year of publication directly follows the author's name as it does in the parenthetical reference (PR) in the body text:

Daft, Richard L.  1998.

Hammer, Michael, and James Champy.  1993.

(10.26) In the author-date system, the full titles and subtitles of books are capitalized sentence style (i.e., capitalize the first word of the title or subtitle and only proper nouns and proper adjectives thereafter) (see 4.9) and underlined. In the subtitle, the first letter in the first word following the colon is capitalized (see 3.88 - 3.89, and 4.10):

Daft, Richard L.  1998.  Essentials of organization theory and design.

Note: Colorado Technical University requires students to underline instead of italicize titles of books, pamphlets, bulletins, periodicals (magazines, journals, newspapers, and any other work that has been published) (see 4.14, 4.16). Never use both italics and underlining in the same paper. Thus, substitute underlining for anything italicized in Turabian.

Facts of Publication

In reference lists (RLs), facts of publication include the place (city and state or city and country) and the publishing agency. The broader term publishing agency, rather than publisher, is used here become some works are published by societies, institutions of learning or commerce or banking, and the like that are not publishers per se (see 8.57). These facts are placed in the reference list citation following the title of the work, and are given for printed books, monographs, pamphlets, booklets, government regulations, and legal documents (see 8.51). If the names of two or more cities appear under the publisher's imprint on the title page or copyright page of the work, then the first name is all that is needed in the reference (see 8.52). If the city is not widely known give the state as well, using the standard two initial Postal abbreviation for the state (see 2.13). If neither the title page nor the copyright page gives the place of publication, write n.p. (for no place) as the first fact of publication (see 8.55) (n.p. is not italicized). Be consistent in the entire works cited. If city and state is listed in one reference list entry, then city and state should be listed in every applicable reference list entry. After the place of publication and a colon followed by two spaces to facilitate readability, then the name of the publisher is given (see 8.57). If the name of the publisher is missing, use the abbreviation n.p. (for no publisher) (see 8.56) (n.p. is not italicized):

Page Numbers

Page numbers are listed in reference list (RL) entries only when the item is part of a whole work-an entire chapter in a book or an article in a periodical. When given, page numbers must be inclusive-first and last pages of the section (see 9.12 and 11.39). When an article is continued at the back of a journal or a magazine, only its first page number should be given (see 8.72 and 11.40 - 11.41):
