The first time a work is cited, full information is given (author, title, volume, publication information, page, etc.). Please notice the order of the items in each note as well as the punctuation. What follows is a sample set of footnotes/endnotes. Generally, there is no need to use the abbreviations “p.” and “pp.” before page numbers simply list the appropriate numbers as the last piece of information in the note. If a single paragraph of your paper contains several references from the same author, it is permissible to use one number after the last quotation, paraphrase, or summary to indicate the source for all of the material used in that paragraph. Publishers often prefer notes to be double spaced. The first line of each note is indented five spaces from the left margin. In the footnote or endnote itself, use the same number, but do not raise or superscript it put a period and one space after the number.

1 Do not put any punctuation after the number. To acknowledge a source in your paper, place a superscript number (raised slightly above the line) immediately after the end punctuation of a sentence containing the quotation, paraphrase, or summary–as, for example, at the end of this sentence. Some instructors will allow you to (or prefer that you) place notes, instead, as endnotes on a separate page (titled Notes) at the end of your paper, after any appendices. Notes come at the bottom of each page, separated from the text with a typed line, 1 and 1/2 inches long.
