What Are Footnotes?

Similar to in-text citations, footnotes go in the body of your paper and are used to indicate that you’re using information from another source.

A footnote is placed right after the quote/paraphrase and they’re formatted with a little superscript number which correlates to a number at the bottom of the page. It’s at the bottom of the page where you’ll put in the actual citation information.
