Dewey. Bellow. Strauss. Friedman. The University of Chicago has been the home of some of the most important thinkers of the modern age. But perhaps no name has been spoken with more respect than Turabian. The dissertation secretary at Chicago for decades, Kate Turabian literally wrote the book on the successful completion and submission of the student paper. Her Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations , created from her years of experience with research projects across all fields, has sold more than seven million copies since it was first published in 1937.
Now, with this seventh edition, Turabian’s Manual has undergone its most extensive revision, ensuring that it will remain the most valuable handbook for writers at every level—from first-year undergraduates, to dissertation writers apprehensively submitting final manuscripts, to senior scholars who may be old hands at research and writing but less familiar with new media citation styles. Gregory G. Colomb, Joseph M. Williams, and the late Wayne C. Booth—the gifted team behind The Craft of Research —and the University of Chicago Press Editorial Staff combined their wide-ranging expertise to remake this classic resource. They preserve Turabian’s clear and practical advice while fully embracing the new modes of research, writing, and source citation brought about by the age of the Internet.
Booth, Colomb, and Williams significantly expand the scope of previous editions by creating a guide, generous in length and tone,to the art of research and writing. Growing out of the authors’ best-selling Craft of Research , this new section provides students with an overview of every step of the research and writing process, from formulating the right questions to reading critically to building arguments and revising drafts. This leads naturally to the second part of the Manual for Writers , which offers an authoritative overview of citation practices in scholarly writing, as well as detailed information on the two main citation styles (“notes-bibliography” and “author-date”). This section has been fully revised to reflect the recommendations of the fifteenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style and to present an expanded array of source types and updated examples, including guidance on citing electronic sources.
The final section of the book treats issues of style—the details that go into making a strong paper. Here writers will find advice on a wide range of topics, including punctuation, table formatting, and use of quotations. The appendix draws together everything writers need to know about formatting research papers, theses, and dissertations and preparing them for submission. This material has been thoroughly vetted by dissertation officials at colleges and universities across the country.
This seventh edition of Turabian’s Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations is a classic reference revised for a new age. It is tailored to a new generation of writers using tools its original author could not have imagined—while retaining the clarity and authority that generations of scholars have come to associate with the name Turabian.

这本书对于提高学术表达的清晰度和准确性有着立竿见影的效果。我特别关注了其中关于“避免模糊语言和陈词滥调”的章节。作者列举了大量在学术写作中常见的“陷阱词汇”和“空洞短语”,并提供了精准替换的建议。这对我改进初稿中的“水词”起到了决定性的作用。通过有意识地训练自己使用更精确、更有力量的动词和名词,我发现我的论点一下子变得更具穿透力了。它对于非英语母语的研究者来说,简直是语言上的“精炼师”。它不仅仅是教你语法正确,更重要的是教你如何用最经济的文字表达最复杂的概念,这是高水平学术写作的核心。每一次阅读这些关于风格的章节,都像是一次小型的语言手术,让我的文字表达变得更加锋利和有效,大大提升了我的学术交流质量。
评分从内容组织和逻辑连贯性来看,这本手册的编排堪称典范。它显然是为那些需要处理长期、复杂研究项目的人群量身定制的。全书的结构层层递进,从宏观的“研究设计”过渡到微观的“句子层面的语法与风格”,这种过渡非常自然,不会让读者感到突兀或信息过载。例如,在讨论“有效论证”时,作者不仅给出了理论框架,还配以大量来自不同学科的优秀范例进行对比分析。这使得抽象的学术要求变得可视化、可模仿。我发现,它在处理跨学科写作的挑战方面做得特别出色,这一点在其他很多专注于单一学科的手册中是很少见的。它巧妙地平衡了对技术细节的关注和对宏大叙事构建的指导。可以说,这本书为我提供了一个坚实的脚手架,让我能够自信地搭建起我复杂的博士研究体系。
评分这本书简直是学术写作的“圣经”,尤其是对于那些初次踏入研究领域的新手来说,简直是救星一般的存在。我记得我刚开始准备我的硕士论文时,面对那堆积如山的文献和要求,简直是茫然无措,不知道从何下手。这本书的出现,就像一位经验丰富的老教授在我身边手把手地指导。它不仅仅是告诉你“该做什么”,更重要的是,它解释了“为什么这么做”。从最基础的选题、文献综述的构建,到复杂的实验设计和数据分析的呈现,每一个环节都讲解得极其透彻,条理清晰。最让我印象深刻的是它关于引文规范和参考文献格式的部分,简直是细致入微,涵盖了各种主流格式(APA、MLA、芝加哥等),让我避免了许多因为格式错误而丢分的尴尬。读完它,我感觉自己像是完成了一次全面的军事训练,对整个研究流程了然于胸,不再是那个手足无措的小白了。这本书的价值,远超其纸面价格,它提供的是一种结构化的思维方式,一种严谨的学术态度。
评分这本书的实用性简直令人惊叹,它完全不是那种空泛地谈论理论,而是深入到操作层面,手把手教你如何把想法落地。我尤其欣赏它对“写作过程”本身的拆解。很多写作指导书只是强调结果,但这本手册却非常关注“如何克服写作障碍”。它提供了一系列非常具体、可操作的建议,比如如何有效地组织大纲、如何在高强度写作期间保持专注力、以及如何处理审稿人的尖锐意见。对于那些经常在“初稿泥潭”里挣扎的人来说,这本书的“修改与润色”章节简直是金玉良言。它教你如何从读者的角度审视自己的作品,如何剔除那些冗余的、自说自话的段落,让你的论述更加精炼有力。我运用了书中的一些技巧,比如“倒叙写作法”来组织我的结论部分,结果发现逻辑流畅性大大提高了,连我自己都感觉文章的“气质”都不一样了。这是一本真正能提升你写作硬实力的工具书,而非仅仅是提供一些理论概念的读物。
评分这本书的语气和口吻,让人感觉非常亲切,不像有些学术著作那样板着脸孔,充满了高高在上的说教感。作者似乎真的理解学生在研究过程中会遇到的各种心理和实际困难。它在严肃讨论学术规范的同时,总能穿插一些幽默或富有同理心的评论,让人在学习的压力中感受到一丝放松。特别是关于“时间管理”和“应对拖延症”的部分,简直像是老朋友在分享经验,而不是冷冰冰的指导。这种人文关怀,让学习过程变得更加人性化。我甚至觉得,这本书更像是一位耐心的导师,他不仅教你知识,还教你如何保持研究的热情和心理健康。它教会我的,不仅仅是如何写出一篇合格的论文,更是如何成为一个更成熟、更有韧性的研究者。这种对作者心境的关注,是它与其他同类书籍拉开差距的关键所在。
