Footnotes

Footnotes may be used to identify that the reader paraphrased or directly quoted another individual in his or her paper.  In addition, footnotes are used to record supplementary information.   The footnote appears at the bottom of the page. The format for footnotes is the opposite of a citation on a Works Cited page, i.e., the author's first name goes first, then the last name; the first line is indented, and every line after the first line goes to the margin.
