A footnote is indicated with a superscript numeral (like this1) within the text that corresponds to the same numeral at the bottom of the page, which is followed by the reference or additional information. The footnote should be included directly following the text it pertains to, usually after any punctuation.

The footnote usually includes the author's name, publication title, publication information, date of publication, and page number(s) if it is the first time the source is being used. For any additional usage, simply use the author's last name, publication title, and date of publication.

The Use of Footnotes Footnotes are the acceptable method of acknowledging material which is not your own when you use it in an essay. Basically, footnoted material is of three types: Direct quotations from another author's work. (These must be placed in quotation marks).

When using either type of footnote, insert a number formatted in superscript following almost any punctuation mark. Footnote numbers should not follow dashes ( ? ), and if they appear in a sentence in parentheses, the footnote number should be inserted within the parentheses.
