[The information given in a footnote includes the author, the title, the place of publication, the publisher, the date of publication and the page or pages on which the quotation or information is found.]

In both MLA and APA, a footnote example includes the citation found at the bottom, or foot, of the page corresponding to the superscript number found in the body of the work. The footnote might consist of the type of work and author's name along with other information related to the type of citation.

There are three main styles for footnotes used in writing today, and each has a slightly different way of making a footnote: APA (American Psychological Association), MLA (Modern Language Association), and Chicago Manual.

The footnote/endnote begins with the same superscript number as the one that appears in the paper and is followed by a period. Footnotes/endnotes always include a specific page number or numbers where the cited information can be found. The first footnote/endnote to a source provides the full publishing information.

Footnote Basic format: x. Author's first name Last name, Title in Italics and in Headline Style (City of Publication: Publisher, Year), page number if relevant.

Types of footnotes Depending on what you want to use a footnote for, you may use one of two types: content footnotes and copyright permission footnotes. The American Psychological Association (APA), Modern Language Association (MLA) and The Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) writing guides use both types of footnotes.
