Footnotes/endnotes are formatted differently than bibliography citations. You use a superscript number in the text that corresponds to a note with citation information at the end of the document (endnotes) or at the bottom of the page (footnotes). Bibliographies are usually included at the end of your paper. Bibliographies are optional in the Chicago Manual of Style, but be sure to ask your professor for their requirements.įootnotes or endnotes are how you give credit to a source in the text itself. For example: "(Contradictory reports made in the past have already been proven inaccurate, as noted in the chart below.In the Chicago Manual of Style (also known as Turabian), a bibliography is an alphabetical list of all of the sources that you have quoted, paraphrased, and/or summarized in the body of your research-based assignment. If the footnote relates only to the material in parentheses, place it inside the closing parentheses.

If you have a parenthetical phrase in a sentence, place the superscript number after the period as usual if the footnote applies to the sentence as a whole.

For example: "The research is important 3-whether these efforts are for personal or public gain has yet to be determined, though."

Generally, superscript numbers should follow punctuation.

Example: "Studies regarding this matter could be difficult to perform, 2 but the effort may well be worth it." In this example, the footnote is placed after the comma in the first clause to demonstrate that the source does not indicate the effort to perform the studies would be worth it.

If necessary to distinguish between sources, you can place the superscript number at the end of the sentence clause you want to attribute to that source. In most cases, you'll put the reference to the footnote at the end of the sentence. Place superscript numbers at the end of a sentence or clause.
