It is necessary to acknowledge other people’s work or ideas when writing; hence, the sources used in your work must be referenced. This is usually done via an in-text citation within the body of a text that refers to the work or ideas by others. Also, a complete reference list is provided at the end of the written materials of works or ideas taken from others.
American English writers usually use the Chicago style of citation. Chicago style referencing comes in two versions. There is the version preferred by those in the humanities (arts, literature, history, etc.) which is the notes and bibliography version. There ia also the author-date version preferred by those in the social sciences and sciences. In the later, the writer uses in-text citation by giving the surname and year of publication in the parentheses.
The below paragraphs deal with the notes and bibliography version of the referencing style; it uses footnotes and endnotes to cite quoted sources.
It is a note that is placed at the bottom of a page of academic writing, book, journal or manuscript, that comments on, or cites a reference for a designated part of the text.
It refers to a description, reference, or comment placed at the end of the research, article, chapter or book. It is similar to footnotes, in that, it provides explanatory comments that would interrupt the main text’s flow, and it cites a source.
