Footnotes and Other Citations Documenting Sources
Documenting Sources • It is important to document sources used in a research report • You may quote directly or cite an idea found in a book, a magazine, a newspaper, online, or in an informational interview • While a Works Cited list shows the materials used for a report, only a parenthetical citation within the body of the report, or a footnote at the bottom of a page, is an appropriate indicator of where exactly the quotation or idea was found
Footnotes and Other Citations Parenthetical Citation
Parenthetical Citation • Put the author’s last name and, if appropriate, the page number from the printed source in the parenthesis. • Put the last names of the authors and the page number if the document has more that one author. • Give the title and the page reference if no author is given. • Note that the citation in parenthesis comes before the period at the end of the citation or quote .
