Footnotes appear at the bottom of each page, whereas endnotes appear on a separate page at the end of your paper. In this regard, Chicago style gives you some guidelines to follow. Referring to notes in your paper Place a superscript number immediately after the end punctuation of a sentence containing the quotation, paraphrase, or summary. Chicago style does not use the abbreviation p. or pp. in notes. Do not put any punctuation after the number. For Example: Even chickens ceased to have legs.1 Format In the footnote or endnote: use the corresponding number as in the body of your paper, do not raise or superscript the number, and put a period and two spaces after the number. The notes are to be single spaced, and the first line is to be indented five spaces from the left margin; double space between notes. For Example: Even chickens ceased to have legs.1 *The footnote at the bottom of the page would look like this: 1. Bill Mencken, The Big Book of Chickens (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1999), 65. Multiple References to One Author 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. For Example: “Many students mistakenly assume the gaining of an ability to write well is similar to the buying of a super-sized value meal at a local fast food drive-through.” All he or she needs to do is pull up, pay, sit quietly until something substantial is handed to him or her (be it a burger and fries or, in the case of a writing class, a passing grade), and once the sale is completed, leave quickly. “Although few of these students would purchase an unhealthy, super-sized value meal as a cure for life-long heart disease, a number of misguided individuals will come to class believing a short term investment in one or two 15 or 16 week writing courses will somehow remedy years of absent or piecemeal reading and writing practice”. 1 |
