Citing Your Sources Using Chicago Style for PowerPoint Presentations, Rev. 9/11/2018 p. 1
Citing Your Sources Using Chicago (Turabian) Style for PowerPoint Presentations
Giving credit to the sources you reference in your presentation is not only about compliance with copyright laws, but it’s also a critical part of building credibility
and trust with your client. Using Chicago (also known as Turabian) Style, the list below demonstrates the proper formats for citing popular business research
sources in your presentation. Alternatively, you can use Zbib to generate citations for your bibliography. Just make sure you select the Turabian style from the
dropdown menu.
Bibliography = Located at the end of your slide deck, usually as an appendix, the bibliography is a list of all the sources that you used to inform your work. Items
should be listed alphabetically.
Source Note = When you are presenting information in your slide deck that can be tied back to your research, you should insert a brief source note at the
bottom of the slide.

Interview -
unpublished
There are slight differences
between how to cite an interview
that has been published versus
an unpublished interview that
you conduct yourself. If the
interview was part of a focus
group in which the participants
must remain anonymous, there is
no need to cite.
