FOOTNOTES

If this long strand of text is part of my essay about dogs, cats, unicorns and rainbows, the proper format for in-text citations would to use a superscript number at the end of the sentence, as I have done here.1

The proper format would also include either a footnote at the bottom of the page.

The first time a source is cited, the full version of the citation must be included.2

Afterwards, a shortened version of just the source’s title is acceptable.

This is easily done in Microsoft Word.3
