Notes and Bibliography Citations

  • Notes and Bibliography (NB) Footnotes and Endnotes
  • This format uses superscript, footnotes or endnotes in-text citations, and a bibliography for the citation list.
  • In Word, when you need a footnote with a corresponding superscript, click the “References” tab and then click “Insert Footnote” after all punctuation.
  • If you want endnotes, you will have to put the superscript in yourself and make an endnote page/s at the end before the bibliography.
  • Make sure the notes are the same font and size as your main text.
  • Singular notes should be single-spaced but double-spaced between.
  • You may use regular numbers or superscripts in the notes.
  • The numbers seen at the end (or before links) are the page numbers.
  • ■ All example citations in both this section and the bibliography section are from CMOS official website, which is linked above.
