Catalog Footnote Release For Free

If you are citing a primary source (e.g. a case) and a secondary source (e.g. a book) in the same footnote, put the primary source before the secondary source, separated by a semi-colon. For example: Broder v Saillard (1876) 2 Ch D 692 (Ch); Paula Giliker, Tort (5th edn, Sweet & Maxwell 2014).

Footnotes are listed at the bottom of the page on which a citation is made. A numeral is placed in the text to indicate the cited work and again at the bottom of the page in front of the footnote. A footnote lists the author, title and details of publication, in that order.

If you refer to the same source again in your paper, you do not need to repeat the same full citation. Instead, you provide a shortened version of the footnote, which includes enough information for the reader to find the full citation in your bibliography or in an earlier footnote.

How do I Create a Footnote or Endnote? Using footnotes or endnotes involves placing a superscript number at the end of a sentence with information (paraphrase, quotation or data) that you wish to cite. The superscript numbers should generally be placed at the end of the sentence to which they refer.

Use a shortened form of the citation. Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind (New York, NY: DAW Books, 2009), 32. The next time you cite that book (say, in note 12), you can give just the author's last name, a shortened title, and the page number: 12.

If you refer to the same source as in the immediately preceding footnote but to a different page or section, use 'ibid' followed by the pinpoint reference, that is, the different page or section number. Use 'n' to refer to a source that has been cited in a previous footnote other than the immediately preceding one.
