What is a footnote?
- Footnotes are in-text notes used for citation or adding supplemental information to a paper.
- They appear at the bottom of a research paper’s page or a text with a superscript number.

- Don’t get it confused with endnotes because these have their citation and notes located at the
end page of your manuscript unlike footnotes that are on the bottom of a page in a paper.
- Word processor software like Google Docs and MS Word are commonly used to insert
footnotes in documents.

Common Footnoting Rules


- Use superscript numbers in Arabic numerals to indicate a footnote. (refer to image above)
- When a footnote must be placed at the end of a clause, add the number after the comma.
- When a footnote must be placed at the end of a sentence, add the number after the period.
- You can put the footnote superscript before a dash.
- Do not reuse the same number twice.
Use Ibid when the source is the same as the note before it but have different
sentences/clause reference. Example:
-

- As much as possible only use as little as 4-5 notes in each page unless you want to make
your paper look like a sea of footnotes and distract the reader.
- The order of citation (i.e. Author, Title, Publisher, Year, pg) depends on the overall research
paper format you are following (i.e. Chicago Style, MLA, APA).
FORMATTING FOOTNOTES

- This format encourages footnotes
- It allows both an author-date system and footnotes for citation and references.
- Reset footnote numbering in each chapter of your paper.
- 12 pt Times New Roman, single spaced, ½ in indent on first line of footnote (meaning paragraph style)
- Author First Last, Title (City: Publisher, Year), page no.
