The document provides instructions on how to properly format footnotes and place note citations in a document. It explains that note numbers should be placed as superscripts after clauses or sentences, but before punctuation except dashes. It also explains that footnotes should include the author's last name, shortened title, and page number separated by commas, and how to use "Ibid" to cite the same source on consecutive or different pages.

1. Note Placement
Place a superscript number at the end
of the clause or sentence that
references the source.
The note should be placed after all
punctuation except for dashes.

3. Footnote Format
At the bottom of the page, provide a
shortened form of information about
the source.

the footnote with commas, not
periods.

5. Footnote Format

6. Footnote Format

page consecutive times, use the word
“Ibid” in the footnote. (“Ibid” is a
shortened form of the Latin word ibidem,
meaning “in the same place.”) Like this:
3. Ibid.

7. Footnote Format

different page, use the word “Ibid” and
follow it with a comma and that
different page number. It’ll look like this:
