Citation Tools for Bibliography & Footnotes/Endnotes:
Introduction: When you use or reference the words, phrases, or ideas of a source in your writing, you are required to cite the source. Traditionally, citation styles vary according to discipline. In the humanities (history, art, etc.) the style most utilized is known as Chicago or Turabian in which footnotes or endnotes are used along with a bibliography.

When to Cite Your Sources with a Footnote/Endnote & Understanding Plagiarism:
When to Cite Your Sources with a Footnote/Endnote & Understanding Plagiarism:
Plagiarism: the act of intentionally or unintentionally presenting work done by someone else as your own; it is not properly citing your sources when you use other people’s words or ideas.
Plagiarism is a serious academic offense amounting to theft. It cannot be tolerated in an academic setting.
Unless you give credit (use a citation), you may not:
- Use a direct quotation
- Use a key word or phrase
- Paraphrase
- Use an idea or research, even in your own words, that is not your own original thinking
- Use statistics, graphs and other data produced by anyone other than the student
Plagiarism is a serious offense that will result in severe penalties, including a zero on the assignment with no make up possibility, a phone call home, and possible influence on such matters as National Honor Society membership, honors or awards within the school community, college recommendations, etc.
When to cite? When not to cite? That is the question!
The following must be cited (with a footnote/endnote or at the very least a source letter):
Direct Quotations - Using someone else’s work word for word
AND
The Research, Ideas and Opinions of Others
· You must use a footnote/endnotes even when you paraphrase (putting into your own words or condensing) the research, ideas and opinions of others
Note: Excessive use of direct quotations is padding and is not acceptable. Direct quotations must be incorporated into the paper so that their purpose and relevance are clear
What are Footnotes / Endnotes?
What are Footnotes / Endnotes?
Footnotes / Endnotes: The purpose of footnotes/endnotes is to cite (give credit) to the sources that provided your information. They appear as superscripted or bracketed numbers placed within the text.
A) Make a decision: Do you want to do footnotes (which appear at the bottom of the page) or endnotes (which appear at the end of the paper/website on a separate page)?
B) What you need to know:
1. Footnotes/Endnotes are not optional. Using them is a key part of writing up your research and protecting yourself from plagiarism.
2. Within the text footnotes and endnotes go in chronological order. Your first citation will be [1], your second citation will be [2], your third citation will be [3]. It does not matter what source letter the citation came from you just keep going in chronological order. [4] You will not repeat numbers at any point.[5]
3. You may place footnotes/endnotes throughout the paragraph (especially if you’ve consulted numerous sources for that paragraph). Otherwise one footnote/endnote at the end of the paragraph (or before your conclusion sentence) will suffice.
4. Then at the bottom of the page (for footnotes) or on a separate page at the end (for endnotes) you will list the number and the source information (from your source table).
5. See https://heroesofthemidnightride.weebly.com/ for an example of Endnotes.
6. If you use sources more than once feel free to list the source out in its entirety or use a shortened form (just the last name, page # or just the title, page # etc.).
How to Do Footnotes/Endnotes in the Rough Draft Stage:
How to Do Footnotes/Endnotes in the Rough Draft Stage:
While you need to be incredibly careful to cite direct quotations and the research, ideas, and opinions of others, in the rough draft stage you should simply put the source letter that the information came from at the end of that section of text, after the punctuation like so. [B] Once your paper (Section 3) is complete on your website you must convert your source letters [A], [B], etc. into footnotes or endnotes which will be numbered in chronological order from the beginning to the end of your paper. [1] We will review how to finalize your footnotes/endnotes after you have edited your paper and are working with Weebly.
What about the Bibliography?
What about the Bibliography?
Bibliography: A proper written research project includes both footnotes/endnotes (which state directly where each source was used) and a Bibliography which provides in one convenient list an alphabetized list of all sources cited. Create your Bibliography on a separate page at the end of your paper/website. Follow the appropriate set-up for each citation (see your source list) and correctly alphabetize and space. Note that no source letters are used. See a sample at: http://lifelibertypursuitofhappiness.weebly.com/bibliography.html.
