Can someone explain in detail how to cite with Endnotes & Footnotes using Chicago Style?

Question

Please don't place websites for me to go to and look, I have tried that and still do not understand. I find it easier when someone can actually show me in writing. I did a College History Paper, and wanted to know when several things. First, When quoting from an article, does the footnote go in the begining of the sentence or the end? If at the end, does the period go firt, then the superscript, or the superscrupt number, then period? When you don't quote, but your drawing a summary from what you read, does the footnotes go in the begining of the sentence or the end, and what about the periods?

Question pertaining to Endnotes: Do you place the page numbers for each article you placed as a footnote?

I would appreciate an answer from someone that actually knows how to do this. Thanks:)

Answer 1

Endnotes must be listed numerically and consecutively, both in your essay and in your Endnote citation. Endnote numbers must be superscripted. In your text, add a superscripted number immediately after the quote or reference cited with no space.

Endnotes must be added on a separate Endnotes or Notes page at the end of your essay just before the Works Cited or Bibliography page. All first Endnote references must be cited in full. Subsequent references of the same work may be shortened to include only the author's last name and page number. If the source cited has no author stated, use whatever minimal information is needed to identify the same work previously cited, e.g. short title and page number. Formerly, the Latin terms ibid. and op. cit. were used but they are no longer preferred.

It is recommended that you use Endnotes in place of Footnotes. This will eliminate the need to allow sufficient space to accommodate all the required Footnote entries at the bottom of the same page where your citations occur. If your instructor has no preference, use the much simpler Parenthetical Documentation in place of Footnotes or Endnotes.

Example:

The World Book Encyclopedia defines Taboo as "an action, object, person, or place forbidden

by law or culture."1



An encyclopedia of the occult points out that taboo is found among many other cultures

including the ancient Egyptians, Jews and others.2



Mary Douglas has analyzed the many facets and interpretations of taboos across various cultures. She points out that the word "taboo" originates from the Polynesian languages meaning a religious restriction.3 She finds that "taboos flow from social boundaries and support the social structure."4



In reference to Freak Shows at circuses, Rothenberg makes the observation that people who possess uncommon features and who willingly go out in public to display such oddities to onlookers are acting as "modern-day taboo breakers" by crossing the "final boundary between societal acceptance and ostracism."5

All numbers above are the small numbers you find when you do the foot or endnotes.

Answer 2

I found the user Fallenaway very rude as well and just being a jerk by placing a website down instead giving you an example like Joe did.Like you, I have had probs of citations with this style too, as you know most colleges don't call for this style, except the His Dept. I am so used to APA style, I needed someone to show me as well. I am glad the first user was helpful, he helped me as well. As for Fallenaway, he or she needs to fall far from this cite and be nice. Some pple have nothing better to do but be a Jerk. They must have no life to be home all day and answer pple on Yahoo.

With all respect, if you can write a college paper, you can understand the Style Manual. The web site is very well designed and user friendly; the the "Quick Links" for examples you can follow.



Simply put, notations always go at the end of the sentence. Numbers go outside the period,because it is the whole sentence that gets the reference. Paraphrase is stylistically the same as a quotation: end of sentence, outside the period.

End notes are shown in the text in the same form as footnotes in the text.



You must refer to the Manual for end note forms to use. The Manual is not difficult, but it is precise in its forms. Any explanation would have replicate the Manual sections. Go the source.
