Chicago and Turabian Styles come in 2 types: Notes (footnote or endnote) in-text citation style, and Author-Date parenthetical style.

It can be used as a browser add-on (Firefox, Chrome, Edge, or Safari), a desktop application (Windows, Mac, Linux, or iOS), or a plugin (Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and more).

It allows you to collect, track, and manage the citations for articles you're using for papers or research, and to output those citations in any citation style. It helps manage your bibliographic needs, including organizing sources and citations by project, sharing citations for group work, and "citing while you write" (inserting citations into papers while writing).
