| How
to refer to notes in your paper
|
To acknowledge a source in your paper,
place a superscript number immediately after the end punctuation of a
sentence containing the quotation, paraphrase, or summary.
- Example: This is how one acknowledges a source
in Chicago/Turabian documentation.1
Do not put any punctuation after the number.

| Where
to place notes |
Place notes
- at the bottom of each page
- separated from the text with a typed line, 1.5 inches long.
Some instructors will allow you to place notes, instead, as endnotes
on a separate page (titled Notes) at the end of
your paper, after any appendices. |
|
| How
to format notes |
In the footnote or endnote itself:
- use the same number as in the body of your paper
- do not raise or superscript it
- put a period and two spaces after the number
The notes themselves are:
- single-spaced
- first-line indented five spaces from the left margin.
Double-space between notes. |
|
| Several
references to same author in a paragraph? |
If a single paragraph of your paper
contains several references to 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.

|
| Abbreviations |
Generally there is no need to use the
abbreviations "p." and "pp." before page numbers.
Simply list the appropriate numbers. |
