Introduction�Why is the Reference important in Thesis?�1. Shows the breath of your research and your understanding of a topic�2. Identifies published evidence to support ideas or arguments presented�3. Allows the readers to trace the information sources�4. Acknowledgements intellectual property of the work of others and avoids the issue of plagiarism�5. We need to explore the differences between: footnote, endnote, citation, in-text-citation, work cited, reference, bibliography.�

Advantages of Using Footnotes

  • Readers interested in identifying the source or note can quickly glance down the page to find what they are looking for.
  • It allows the reader to immediately link the footnote to the subject of the text without having to take the time to find the note at the back of the paper.
  • Footnotes are automatically included when printing off specific pages.

Disadvantages of Using Footnotes

  • Footnotes can clutter up the page and, thus, negatively impact the overall look of the page.
  • If there are multiple columns, charts, or tables below only a small segment of text that includes a footnote, then you must decide where the footnotes should appear.
  • If the footnotes are lengthy, there's a risk they could dominate the page, although this issue is considered acceptable in legal scholarship.

Advantages of Using Endnotes

  • Endnotes are less distracting to the reader and allows the narrative to flow better.
  • Endnotes don't clutter up the page.
  • As a separate section of a research paper, endnotes allow the reader to read and contemplate all the notes at once.

Disadvantages of Using Endnotes

  • If you want to look at the text of a particular endnote, you have to flip to the end of the research paper to find the information.
  • Depending on how they are created [i.e., continuous numbering or numbers that start over for each chapter], you may have to remember the chapter number as well as the endnote number in order to find the correct one.
  • Endnotes may carry a negative connotation much like hidden disclaimers in advertising. A reader may believe you are trying to hide something.

Recent literature has examined long-run price drifts following initial public offerings (Ritter 1991; Loughran and Ritter 1995), stock splits (Ikenberry, Rankine, and Stice 1996), seasoned equity offerings (Loughran and Ritter 1995), and equity repurchases (Ikenberry, Lakonishok, and Vermaelen 1995). [ex. from Chicago Manual of Style, 622]

Nanoparticulate formations "may ... ultimately reduce health-care costs" (Tartau et al. 2009).

Four Styles of Work Cited

28 of 44

Introduction to MLA Style:

 

MLA Style was established in 1951 by the Modern Language Association in University of North Alabama; the first MLA handbook was established in 1977. This style is used primarily for publication in Liberal Arts & Humanities, especially Language and Literature journals. The information in this guide was taken from the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers: Seventh Edition.

Components of an MLA Paper Title page Do not make a title page unless specifically requested by the instructor. Body pages All text should be double spaced. Standard font is 12 point Times New Roman. The first body page should provide the author’s name, instructor’s name, course, and date in the upper left hand corner. All pages should include your last name and the page number in the upper right hand corner unless otherwise specified by your professor. The body text of the paper should always be left aligned. Works Cited page “Works Cited” centered at the top of the page. Uses hanging indent to separate individual references. This page should answer all the basic MLA questions.

29 of 44

Introduction to Chicago Style:

 

Chicago style was created by the University of Chicago in 1906. It is a set of rules for publications, including research papers. In Chicago style, you must cite sources that you have paraphrased, quoted or otherwise used to write your research paper. Cite your sources in two places: In the body of your paper where you add a footnote (which appears in the footer at the bottom of the page) and In the bibliography at the end of your paper.

Chicago Style 17th ed. Notes and Bibliography Sample Paper (Purdue OWL)

The information in this article is largely drawn from Turabian style a version of Chicago style aimed at students and researchers. When writing a paper in Chicago style, these are the guidelines to follow; for the sake of simplicity, the term “Chicago” is used here.

To apply Chicago format:

Use a standard font like 12 pt. Times New Roman.

Double-space the text.

Use 1 inch margins or larger.

Indent new paragraphs by ½ inch.

Place page numbers in the top right or bottom center.

MLA Style and Chicago Style

What are they different?

MLA and Chicago styles are basically the same. The only difference is that Chicago style uses brackets ( ) around the publisher and year. (BPS, 2015)

How should we use different styles?

MLA uses a works cited that lists the sources used in the paper.

APA uses a reference list that lists only sources used in the paper.

Chicago/Turabian can use a bibliography. It’ll list all the sources used to create the paper.

Harvard uses a reference list or a bibliography.

Oxford uses a reference list.

Footnotes and endnotes are formulated in exactly the same way -- the only difference is that footnotes appear on the bottom of the page on which a work is cited, whereas endnotes appear at the end of a manuscript.  Citations in a bibliography are formulated in a similar way to a footnote or endnote, but do have slight variations from the way a footnote or endnote is formulated.  Bibliographies are optional in the Chicago Manual of Style, but be sure to ask your professor for their requirements.

How is a Footnote different from an Endnote?

A superscript number refers to a footnote or endnote which contains all of the publishing information and the page number for the information referenced.

Footnotes appear on the bottom of the page that contains the sentence to which it refers.

Endnotes are listed at the end of the paper on separate pages. On the top of the first page, the title “Notes” is centered one inch from the top of the page. Endnote pages are placed before the bibliography.
