English – Footnotes

• In your text, place a superscript number at the end of the sentence containing the material you have referred to or quoted, like this[1]
• In Word click on Insert, then create Footnote
• A footnote should consist of the author’s name, the title (the place of publication, the name of the publisher, the year the document was published) and a page reference.
• As the name implies, footnotes appear at the “foot” of the page, beginning four lines/two double spaces below the text. Single-space footnotes, but double-space between them. The superscript numbers in the text should correspond to the superscript numbers at the bottom of the text. The numbers at the bottom of the text introduce the line instead of appearing at the end of it
• When a footnote continues on the following page, add a solid line across the text and continue the note two lines/one double space below the solid line. Footnotes for the new page immediately follow the note continued from the previous page, after a double space
• When a footnote refers to exactly the same source as the footnote immediately preceding it, Ibid. is used. It means that the footnote refers to the same page of the same book by the same author
• When ibid is followed by a page number, it means that the reference is still to the same book by the same author, but on another page
• If the footnote refers to a different page of the same author referred to earlier in the text, you should put down the author’s name and the page number(s) instead of ibid
