Place a superscripted numeral directly at the end of your citation, in the main body of text in your article. This number will correspond with the footnotes in the article's footer, at the bottom of the page. The counting system should begin with 1, and increment each time a new citation or reference is made. The first citation on each individual page restarts the counting system, so as to not confuse the reader. For example, "As a heretofore unknown amalgam of the most unalike of America's historic undesirables, he now made sense."1
In the page's footer, write your footnote consisting of only one sentence. The footnote begins with a superscripted numeral that corresponds with the citation in the article. Add a space, and then type the name of the author you're citing. If this is the first time in your publication that this information source has been referenced, add the title of the work, the publisher and publishing date in brackets, the page number where the citation is found, and then end the footnote with a period. An example of a footnote corresponding with the previous citation would appear 1 Philip Roth, The Human Stain (Vintage, 2001) 132.
Format the footnotes by indenting the first footnote by one tab or five spaces from the document's left margin. All subsequent footnotes on this page should not be indented, however each line should be double-spaced. Order your footnotes and endnotes consecutively.
