DEFINITION OF A FOOTNOTE
↑
Clicking the
↑ icon displays the top menu
|
|
In a text related to social sciences
- history, for example -, it is necessary to include footnotes (at the end
of the page) or endnotes (at the end of the document, but before the
bibliography) in four particular circumstances. But, you can't use both
formats in a same document; you either use footnotes or endnotes. Here
are the particular circumstances:
|
۩
whenever you include a quote taken
directly from another author's book or article; |
|
۩
whenever you include one or many
statistics (kilometres for a military frontage, number of victims
in a conflict, amount of money given by a government, etc.); |
|
۩
whenever a very precise idea or group of
ideas are taken directly and literally from another author's
argumentation; |
| ۩
and/or whenever you include supplementary
information allowing you to define or illustrate in more details a
concept included to your text. |
|
In order to include a footnote or
an endnote, we must respect predefined criteria. The criteria can
change from one field of study to another. Thus, the format
illustrated in this page regards, more particularly, a proper methodology
for history papers (theses, essays, synopses, etc.).
Firstly, most of the word
processors allow their users to quickly include footnotes or endnotes to
their documents. For instance, in Microsoft Word, the
user has to click on the "Insert" option of the menu, then on "Reference" and, finally, on "Footnote".
|

The notes are in numerical or alphabetical order, but can be of various
types as well. Some of you may want to use roman numbers while others will
prefer letters, notably. This being said, keep in mind that it is
better not to
include more than one reference per footnote or endnote and that each note
is unique, the next one necessarily being an increased number or letter.
The reference in regard to this
first footnote must be fully written, with the exact source:
1- Henry Bogdan, La
question royale en Hongrie au lendemain de la Première Guerre mondiale,
Louvain : Institut de recherches de l'Europe centrale, 1979, p. 24.
Keep in mind that the name of the
author is fully included (first name, then the family name) and that the
title is written in italics; some university departments will
underline the title instead of putting it in italics. After
the title, we must indicate the city where the book was published, the name
of the editor, the year it was published and, finally, the page number(s).
When the reference is about a page in particular, you shall include "p."
but if it regards several pages, you shall indicate "pp.".
If it is an article, the format
changes a little.
2- M.I. Finley, "The Silent Women of Rome", in Horizon, no 7 (1965), Tuscaloosa, Horizon Publishers, p. 64.
As you can see, the title of the
article must appear between quote marks, followed by the name of the journal
or review in italics. We also must indicate the prefix "in" before the
name of the latter. Afterward, we indicate the volume number and/or
the date when the article was first published (year, month and day, if it
applies), the city where it was published, the name of the publisher and,
lastly, we include the page(s) to which the reference is related.
Now, when the reference is
repetitive, we can use some predefined terms in order to avoid repeating the
full reference over and over again:
|
Ibid.: whenever an identical
reference to the previous footnote is used; the page number can
be the same or can be different (in
which case, you would indicate the different page number);
Idem.: whenever an identical reference
to the previous footnote is used (the page number
must also be the same). Some will prefer using the term
"Ibid.".
Op.cit.: when a book reference has
previously been stated as a footnote or an endnote, but not directly
before;
Loc.cit.: when an article
reference has previously been stated as a footnote or an endnote,
but not directly before; |
3- Ibid., p. 66.
This "Ibid." makes reference to
page 66 of Finley's article, "The Silent Women of Rome".
4- Idem.
In this case, the reference is
identical to the previous one (footnote 3): same article, same page (p.66).
5- Bogdan, op.cit., p. 45.
For this fifth reference,
I use op.cit. (it is a
book), because Bogdan was already cited as a footnote or an endnote but
not directly in the previous note (footnote 4). I also must state the
page number to which it refers. If many different Bogdan books
were previously included as a footnote or endnote, I would have to indicate
the name of the book to avoid any confusion: Bogdan, Histoire des pays de
l'est, p. 59.
6- Finley, loc.cit., p. 25.
Same explanation as for footnote 5,
but I used loc.cit. instead, because it is an article.
Regarding electronic references
↑
When you must include electronic references from Internet
websites, you can use several formats. I propose two popular formats
you could use in order to respect a proper format: the APA and MLA
styles.
APA Style
Family name and first name of the author(s) (year of publication.)
Title of the article or of the Internet website (in italic letters). Date
you retrieved the information from the website in order to include it to your
own document (month, day and year) and address of the website.
i.e.:
Rice, J.C., McBride, R.H. & Davis, J. (1998). Defining a web based
learning environment. Retrieved November 5, 2000 from
http://www.byu.edu/ipt/workshops/wbi/text.html.
MLA Style
From websites that do not indicate the name of the author(s):
Title of the website in italic letters. Date you retrieved the
information from the website in order to include it to your own document (month,
day and year) and address of the website in this format:
<source>.
i.e.:
Cyberbee. July
28 2002, <http://www.cyberbee.com>.
From websites where the name of the author(s) is (are) clearly identified:
Family name and first name of the author(s). Date you retrieved the
information from the website in order to include it to your own document (month,
day and year) and address of the website in this format:
<source>.
i.e.: Radford, Robert. July
28 2002,
<http://www.imperialtometric.com>.

|
Answer
|

|
The number must always be included before the period, never after, and must
ideally appear at the end of your statement.
Here is an example :
"The international
comparisons present the main statistical indicators of more than
230 countries and territories, grouped by theme: population and
income, labour force and prices, gross domestic product,
international trade and investments, education and
communication, health"1.

Sir,
Doing a poster for a ecology project. Teacher wants footnotes.
If I use photos from the newspaper on the poster do I have to
footnote the photos from what paper, date, photographer etc. on
the bottom. Thanks for your help.
|
Answer
|

|
Good
question. Since a photo is also protected by
copyright laws, it is necessary to mention its source,
unless it is a copyright-free photo. Here's what your
footnote or endnote should mention:
Photographer or agency's name, "title of the article
between quote marks (if the photo was part of an article)",
in newspaper's name in italic letters, city where
the journal was published, publisher's name, date (month,
day, year), page number.
Also,
don't forget to include this reference in your bibliography
section as well. Do not hesitate to communicate with
me if you need any other help. Good luck!
|
Question # 3
↑
|
 |
When using endnotes, if you use a source more than
once but a different page number, how would you
document that on the endnotes page? |
Answer
|

|
The
only difference between endnotes and footnotes is that
endnotes are placed at the end of the text (after the
conclusion part but before the bibliography section) instead
of being placed at the end of each page as for the footnotes.
Hence, footnotes and endnotes are the same on the basis of
content format.
Now,
if your source appears more than once but on a different
page number: you should definitely use the "Ibid."
standard if the source is repeated directly after its
previous inclusion or the "Op.cit." (if
it's a book) or "Loc.cit." (if it's an
article) standard if the source was already mentioned but
not in the last endnote prior to the one you are actually
including.
|
Here
are some examples (Morstado's reference was created for
the purpose of explaining how to include endnotes; his
article does not
exist in reality):
Example A: let's say you
used three different sources for your paper:
two books
from Radford and one article from Morstado...
1- Robert Radford,
Roman History, Morrisville,
Lulu, 2007, p. 65.
Since it is the first time this
Radford book is mentioned in your endnote section, the
entire reference must be included.
2- Ibid., p. 67.
Ibid. is used because it is the same
source as endnote 1 but the page number is different.
3- Enriqué Morstado, "Laughing in Theaters", in
Best Laughing Locations, San Salvador, Why Corporation, 2002, p. 11.
Since it is the first time this
Morstado article is mentioned in your endnote section, the
entire reference must be included.
4- Radford, Op.cit., p. 69.
Op.cit. is used because it is a book
and refers to endnote number 1.
5- Idem.
Idem. is used because endnote 4 is
exactly the same as endnote 5. Idem. means "Identical".
6- Morstado, Loc.cit., p. 15.
Loc.cit. is used because it is an
article and refers to endnote number 3.
8- Robert Radford,
Cognition Guide, Morrisville,
Lulu, 2007, p. 162.
P.S.: be careful, this is another,
different, Radford book that appears in your endnote
section.
9-
Morstado, Loc.cit., p. 20.
10- Radford,
Cognition Guide, p. 101.
To avoid confusion between the two
distinct Radford books mentioned previously, you must
indicate the author's name, the exact book title and,
finally, the page number.
Example B: let's
say you used a single source for your paper...
7-
Idem.
Question # 4

The following
data was submitted via the electronic form on April 23rd, 2004:
|

|
When you
have two footnotes in one sentence how do you
put them in? At the end of the sentence
separated by a comma or where they refer to a
fact in the sentence? |
Answer
|
 |
Thank you for asking me a question on how to use
footnotes in a proper format via my personal website.
Ideally, it is better not to include two footnotes or
endnotes in a same sentence. This being said, if
you still need to include two such notes in a same
sentence, it would be better to include them directly after
the specified quote(s) and/or included statistic(s), as
in this example: |
|
In 2003, Montréal's metropolitan
area included a |
|
population of 3 574 500 inhabitants1 compared
|
|
to an estimated
population of 7 487 200
for the |
|
province of Québec2. |
|
It is
not a good idea to include numerous footnotes or
endnotes at the end of a same sentence (separated by
commas) because it would be difficult for the readers to
know which statistic(s) and/or quote(s) - included in
this particular sentence - the notes would refer to.
To avoid any confusion, I definitely prefer the
inclusion of a single note per sentence but this remains
a personal choice. It's up to the author to decide!

Dear
Robert,
I have been using your web page to guide me to
correctly make my quotations for my thesis.
There is one quote I have not been able to quote
correctly, for it is a tricky one and i can't do
anything for making it right. The case is as
follows:
Georges Banu transcribed, as accurate as
possible (in his own words), the conference of Jerzy Grotowski. The text was published in ART/PRESS
in Paris in 1987. If you could help me, I would
be for ever thankful, for it is of primordial
importance for me (and my university) to have
all quotations and all rules in perfect order.
Thanks
for your time.

Answer
|

|
Good day
Elizabeth,
First of
all, thank you for visiting my website. So, from
what I understand, Georges Banu went to a conference
given by Jerzy Grotowski and, after hearing Grotowsky,
decided to write an article regarding this particular
conference, which he published in a 1987 ART PRESS
review.
So, if
that’s the proper context for your source, your
reference note should appear as follows (this is only an
example):
Georges
Banu, « title of the article between quote marks », in
Art Press
(the title of the review, Art Press, must appear in
italicized letters), # 34 (here goes the
review's edition number, for instance #34 or No 34 if it
is its 34th publication), Paris : Impr. Le Scorpion,
September 1987, p. 26 (after « p. », indicate the page
number of your article’s quote or source of information;
for example, p. 26, or pp. 26-27 if the source of your
information appears on more than a single page).
P.S. : after a quick research, it seems that this review's
editor is Impr. Le
Scorpion.
|
==>
Now, your footnote should look like this (this is only
an example; a footnote can appear at the bottom of a
page or at the end of your paper, but before the
bibliography section):
Georges Banu, « How I became an impresario », in
Art Press, No 34, Paris : Impr. Le Scorpion,
September 1987, p. 26.
==>
For a bibliography reference, there are some differences
though (the
bibliography section must appear at the end of your
paper, on the last page, where you mention all of your
electronic and paper sources, books, reviews, etc…):
BANU, Georges. « How I became an impresario », in
Art Press. No 34. Paris : Impr. Le Scorpion,
September 1987. pp. 22-41.
[In an article's bibliography reference, you must
indicate the total number of pages; for example: pp.
22-41].
I hope
this will help you.
Have a great day.

Answer

Good evening Vera,
You could use at least 2 different formats for your
electronic reference: MLA or APA. I will demonstrate each
format but, ultimately, the choice is yours. The only
thing though is that if you have to quote other
electronic references in a same paper, you’ll have to
stick with the same format you used for the first
electronic reference (you can’t use different formats in
a same document).
|
1) MLA Style:
Keirsey, David. September 17th 2007,
<http://www.keirsey.com/pumII/dimensions.html>.
OR
2) APA Style:
Keirsey, David
(1998). Please Understand Me II. Retrieved
September 17th 2007 from
http://www.keirsey.com/pumII/dimensions.html.
I personally prefer the APA Style because it gives the
reader more information regarding the source. As for
the quotation within your paper, it should look like
this:
"
[…]
Jung and Myers were trying
to figure out what the different types have in mind,
while I am trying to figure out what they can do well
under varying circumstances "1.
Regarding the reference, you can either use an endnote
(at the end of your paper) or a footnote (at the bottom
of the page on which the quote is cited). Again, if you
choose footnotes, you must stick with it for all of the
other references in a same paper
J.
I personally prefer footnotes because the reader can
look at the source’s reference very quickly (it’s on the
same page).
Here’s an example of how your footnote / endnote should
look like if you decide to use the APA Style:
_________________________________

So, that’s about it.
If you have any other questions, feel free to write me.
Have a great evening.

Answer

Good day,
First of all, thank you for visiting my website.
Your question is an excellent one; before defending
my point of view, it is of the upmost importance to
say that in the world of reference notes, many
different methods exist and several “Écoles de
pensée“ (Schools of thought) have their own little
system for including and representing their
references to their papers. Some thinkers are also
against the use of any form of footnotes or endnotes
and include their sources directly in the text (just
thinking about it gives me chills!!).
|
Now, even if I don’t agree with every school of
thought, I respect them all. This being said, it
doesn’t change the fact that you want your source to
be included properly to your paper, you want it to
respect a certain methodology and you want your
readers to understand easily and clearly where you
got your information without invading your text (I
call it “prostituting a text” when sources are put
directly in the sentence but that’s only my
perspective). To that regard, I firmly believe that
my method is one of the proper ones. It is a method
that includes the possibility to use different
systems, notably the MLA or APA, and it is the
method I used and continue to use for my university
courses in Social Sciences (B.A. / M.A. in History)
and Technology (M.A.).
Many institutions ask their researchers, newspaper
agents, scientists, employees, etc, to put the
reference numbers before the period and never after
the end of the sentence. Here are two
examples:
|
1) |
Perspective Afrique (a scientific review, in
French):
http://www.perspaf.org/index.php/Guide_redactionnel/24/0/
“Appel
de note : pas d'espace entre le numéro de l'appel et
l'élément visé par la note ; si le numéro de l'appel
vient à la fin d'une phrase, il est placé avant le
point“.
Translation:
Note numbering:
no space between the number and the element aimed by
the note; if the number comes at the end of a
sentence, it is placed before the period.
|
|
2) |
Université
Laval
in Québec City, Canada:
http://www.com.ulaval.ca/publications_liens/etudes_com_publique/normes.php
“Appel
de note : pas d'espace entre le numéro de l'appel et
l'élément visé par la note ; si le numéro de l'appel
vient à la fin d'une phrase, il est placé avant le
point“.
Translation:
Note numbering:
no space between the number and the element aimed by
the note; if the number comes at the end of a
sentence, it is placed before the period.
|
Regarding your Office debate, I wouldn’t go on a
crusade with this. Hence, you won’t be able to
settle it once and for all based uniquely on
scientific methodology. You’ll have to sit down,
have coffee and donuts and decide, probably by
voting on it (democracy!), which format your office
will use in the future. Keep me informed: I’m
curious to know what your law office will, in fact,
do!
Also, write me an email if you need any additional
information. It’s always a pleasure to help.
Best regards.

Dear Mr. Radford,
I want to quote the
definition of the word 'didaktik' from a
German dictionary that wasn't written by any
one person. How do I do that? The name of
the dictionary is Duden - Das
Fremdwörterbuch. The publisher is
Dudenverlag and the dictionary was published
in 2006.
Thanks for your help,
Rebecca A. |
Answer
|
 |
Good day Rebecca,
Thank
you for visiting my website. I found some
information regarding this book:
|
__________
Duden, das Fremdwörterbuch : auf der Grundlage
der neuen amtlichen Rechtschreibregeln ; [unentbehrlich
für das Verstehen und den Gebrauch fremder
Wörter ; über 55 000 Fremdwörter mit über 400
000 Angaben zu Bedeutung, Aussprache, Grammatik,
Herkunft, Schreibvarianten und Worttrennungen] /
hrsg. von der Dudenredaktion.
9.,
aktualisierte Aufl.
Mannheim ; Leipzig ; Wien ; Zürich : Dudenverl.,
2007. - 1104 S.
(Der
Duden in 12 Bänden; 0005)
8.
Aufl. u.d.T.: Duden, Fremdwörterbuch
ISBN 3-411-04059-9/978-3-411-04059-9
__________
Now,
after quoting the definition of the word ‘didaktik’,
you must not forget to include a footnote
number: this number must always be included
before the period, never after, and must
ideally appear at the end of your quote.
Regarding the footnote itself, here’s how it
should appear:
1
Dudenredaktion,
Duden, das
Fremdwörterbuch : auf der Grundlage der neuen
amtlichen Rechtschreibregeln,
Mannheim: Dudenverlag, 2007, [+ page(s) of the
book where the definition was found].
You
must indicate where the definition was found in
the book. If the definition was found in « seiten »
54, 55 and 56, the footnote would look like
this:
1 Dudenredaktion,
Duden, das
Fremdwörterbuch : auf der Grundlage der neuen
amtlichen Rechtschreibregeln,
Mannheim: Dudenverlag, 2007, s. 54-56.
Now,
for the bibliography (which must be added at the
end of your paper), your reference should look
like this:
Dudenredaktion.
Duden, das
Fremdwörterbuch : auf der Grundlage der neuen
amtlichen Rechtschreibregeln. Mannheim:
Dudenverlag, 2007. 1104 S.
Since
we do not know the name of the author(s), we
will use
Dudenredaktion as the official
“author”. There are some differences between
footnotes and bibliography references: in a
footnote, we use commas and a single period at
the end of the footnote; in a bibliography
reference, we use a period after the name of the
author and after the title, then we indicate the
name of the city where the book was edited, we
use a colon and we indicate the editor’s name,
we use a comma, we indicate the year the book
was published and we use another period. We
finally indicate the book’s total number of
pages (“S.” is for
seiten in German; “p.” for
pages in English and in French)
and we end it all with a final period.
Do not
hesitate to contact me again if you need
additional help. It’s always a pleasure.

Where on earth do I
put in the footnote and reference list?
Thank you!

Answer

|
Good day Rebecca,
This is a very good question and it's a
pleasure for me to help you. Regarding your
problem, we must distinguish two things: is
it a book that includes numerous articles
(each article being from a specific author?)
or is it a book written by several authors,
each of them participating in complete
solidarity to the book's content and
ideology (hence, such a book would not
include articles by different authors but
would, instead, be the result of an overall
and collective effort).

If the book includes articles from
different authors, your footnote should
appear as follows:
S.
Rossmanith, "Arztrolle - Patientenrolle", in
Medizinische Psychologie, 6th
Edition, Vienna: Facultas, 1999, p. 104.
==>
If the book is a collective effort and
does not include any particular article,
your footnote should appear as follows:
G.
Sonneck
et al.,
Medizinische Psychologie, 6th
Edition, Vienna: Facultas, 1999, p. 104.
OR
G.
Sonneck
et alii,
Medizinische Psychologie, 6th
Edition, Vienna: Facultas, 1999, p. 104.

[“et
al.” /
“et
alii” are used whenever
more than one author contribute to the
book. I usually use it when more than two
authors are present though. When there are
two authors, you can indicate both of them
in the footnote (i.e.: “G. Sonneck and M.
Hexel”) but when more than two are present,
use the “et
al.” or “et
alii” terminology. When
used, you must indicate the name of
one
of the authors of the book followed by “et
al.” or “et
alii”. In your work, you
must decide which one you’ll use though: if
you use “et
al.”, you must continue
using it for all of the other references
with numerous authors in your paper; the
same goes for “et
alii”.
Hence, it’s one or the other.
I normally use « et
alii » for my papers in
French and “et
al.” when my work is
written in English. Finally, don’t forget
to italicize the “et
al.” or “et
alii” terminology used.] |
For your bibliography:
==>
If it’s an
article…
Rossmanith, S. "Arztrolle
- Patientenrolle", in
Medizinische Psychologie. 6th
Edition. Vienna: Facultas,
1999. pp. 92-115.
| |
[“pp. 92-115” is just an example; you must
replace it with the exact pages referring to
Rossmanith’s article. If the article starts
at page 92 and ends at page 115, then you
would indicate “pp. 92-115”. As for the
article’s title, it always appears between
quotation marks but must not be italicized;
on the other hand, the title of the book is
italicized but does not appear between
quotation marks. Remember that “pp.” means
“pages” (plural form since there may be
numerous pages for the article; if the
article fits on a single page, then you
would indicate “p.” (singular form) instead
of “pp.”.] |
==>
If it’s a collective effort that does not
include any particular article…
Sonneck, G.
et al.
Medizinische Psychologie.
6th Edition.
Vienna: Facultas, 1999. 366 p.
| |
[I believe this book has a total of 366
pages but I’m not 100% sure… be aware that
you must indicate the total number of pages
contained in the book only if your reference
is not considered an article.] |
