Text Citations
Footnotes appear at the end of a page, while endnotes appear at the end of an article (671). A footnote or an endnote generally lists the author, title, and facts of publication, in that order (661). Notes, whether footnotes or endnotes, should be numbered consecutively with superscript (noted below as Sup. no.; Ex: 1), beginning with 1, throughout each article (666). Placement of a note number should be at the end of a sentence or clause (666).
Footnote: For ease of reference, footnotes are preferred by readers, however, a page of all footnotes is daunting (673).
Endnote: With the main heading of 'Notes' at the end of an article or chapter, the flexibility to use endnotes are less intimidating despite the challenge of finding a particular note (673).
