How do you cite a reference in Logos
Hello can some please tell what are the steps in citing the books in logo? I am interested in learning how to do turabian.
Thanks

Hi Allen, welcome to the forums! First click "Tools" and then "Program Settings" Under your program settings simply set the citation style that you want and then make sure "Copy Citations" is ticked 'Yes'.

Welcome to the forums!
If you are not quoting a text, but you want to reference the source, you can click on the information button at the top right of the resource panel. Something like the screen shot below will appear. Notice that there is a section entitled "citation." You will also notice that my preferred citation style is "Turabian." If I were to click on the double arrows to the right of the word "Turabian," a list would appear allowing me to select the format that I wanted. When you have chosen your preferred style, click "copy." Then go to your word processing document and click "paste."

One additional point that I would note is that I take note of the page number where the material is found and insert that into the citation. This will match the print copy so those who don't have access to the resource in Logos can find it in print.

Allen, if you now copy that paragraph and paste it into your word processor it should automatically footnote it in Turabian style (look for the footnote at the bottom of the page you pasted into.

HOW ABOUT IF YOU WANT TO DO A FOOT NOTE AND BIBLIOGRAPHY IN TURABIAN I KNOW THERE SUPPOSED TO BE DIFFERENT, DOES LOGOS ALLOW FOR THEIS ADJUSTMENT?

Garry, welcome to the forum.
I just checked and the footnote that copied from copying and pasting a paragraph and the Bibliographic entry from the info pane were different. They look correct but I recommend double checking the format as sometimes there can be errors in the metadata about resources.
Hope this helps.

Garry - First, welcome to the forums! I am not an expert on formatting, and don't feel qualified to give you a definitive answer. My guess is that the answer is kind of. Logos will provide you with a turban footnote style. Here is what I get:
Jerry Bridges, Holiness Day by Day: Transformational Thoughts for Your Spiritual
Journey, ed. Thomas Womack (Colorado Springs, CO: NavPress, 2008), 77.The problem that you will find, is that turbian demands a difference between the first time a book is referenced and the subsequent times. To the best of my knowledge, Logos is not going to be able to help you with this.
EDIT: the "Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE" is junk that copy & paste from Word added to the forum post. Sorry, I can't delete it.
