Footnotes

For most papers formatted in Turabian style, in-text citations are formatted as footnotes.

Footnotes are a method of documenting sources for a paper with the following characteristics:

  • Superscripted numbers at the points in the text where a source needs to be referenced.
  • Numbers in the text are in the order of their appearance in the paper (1, 2, 3, etc.).
  • Numbered citations for sources are listed at the bottom of each page, in the order of their appearance in the document.
  • Specific page references are required when exact wording from the source is included in the paper.
Endnotes are identical to footnotes in most respects, with this difference: footnotes are included at the bottom of the page, and endnotes are listed on the final page of the paper.
