What are footnotes?

Footnotes are the primary way to cite sources in Turabian formatting.

They appear at the bottom of the page.

Papers with footnotes have a bibliography page at the end which includes each source used in the paper.2

Basic footnote formatting:

Footnotes go at the bottom of the page.

There should be a line separating the text from the footnotes (Microsoft Word does this automatically).

Footnotes should be in either 10pt or 12pt font.

Ensure they are in the same font as the text—this will likely be either Times New Roman or Arial.Slide4

ootnote formatting:

The

first

time a source is used, list all the publication information within the footnote (this looks a lot like a bibliography entry).In each subsequent entry that uses the same source, include the author’s last name, a comma, and the page number.Slide5

F

ootnote formatting:

In the subsequent entries, if two or more works from the

same author

are used in the paper, include a shortened version of the title.If two consecutive references are from the same source, use “Ibid.” This means “in the same place.” Include the page number if it is from the same source but a different page.Slide6

How to create footnotes

in Microsoft Word:

Place the cursor after a quote or paraphrase and left click.

Select “References” in the menu at the top.

Select “Insert Footnote.” It should be a large button, close to the left side.

Microsoft Word will automatically format the page and choose the correct number.Type the footnote!Slide7

Basic bibliography formatting:

Place a page titled “

Bibliography

” at the end of the paper.

This includes an alphabetized list of each source consulted for the paper.Single-space each entry.Place a blank line between each entry.Each entry should have a hanging indent.Slide11

Differences between footnotes and bibliography entries:

Footnotes

format the author’s name

first name last name

. Bibliography entries format the author’s name last name, first name.Footnotes

indent the first line, and any subsequent lines are flush left. Bibliography entries have a hanging indent

.Footnotes use commas and parentheses

to separate elements in the entry.

Bibliography entries

use

periods

.Slide12

Differences between footnotes and bibliography entries:

Footnotes

include

specific page numbers

where the information was found. Bibliography entries only include page numbers if they indicate the pages of a complete article or

chapter.Footnotes are numbered

and ordered according to where the information is introduced in the text. Bibliography entries are always alphabetized and unnumbered
