  2. Vocabulary The half of knowledge is to know where to find knowledge. • Citations • Footnotes • Endnotes • MLA • APA • Sources • References Research Papers: Footnotes, Citiations, and Bibliographies

  3. Research Papers • One of Microsoft Office 2007 Word’s greatest improvements is making research papers easier to do by making: • Citations, endnotes, footnotes, and bibliographies easier to do, using either: • MLA or APA styles • Both MLA and APA guidelines suggest the use of in-text parenthetical citations (placed at the end of the sentence), instead of footnoting each source of material in a paper. • These parenthetical acknowledgements guide the reader to the end of the paper for complete information about the source. Research Papers: Footnotes, Citiations, and Bibliographies

  4. Reference Tab • The Reference tab is broken into the following boxes: • Table of Contents • Footnotes • Citations and Bibliographies • Captions • Index • Table of Authorities • In this presentation, we will focus on the Footnotes and Citations and Bibliographies boxes. Research Papers: Footnotes, Citiations, and Bibliographies

  5. References- All Sources! • During your research, be sure to record essential publication information about each of your sources. The following is a sample is a list of types of required information. • Books: Full name of author(s), complete title of book, edition (if available), volume (if available), publication city, publication year. • Magazines: Full name of author(s), complete title of article, magazine title, date of magazine, page numbers of article. • Web site: Full name of author(s), title of the web site, date viewed, website URL (address).

  6. Utilizing Microsoft Word 2007 • Word provides tools to assist you in inserting citations in a paper and later generates a list of sources from the citations. • When a document style is selected, Word will automatically format the citations and list of sources. The process for adding citations in Word is as follows: • Modify the documentation style, if necessary. • Insert a citation placeholder. • Enter the source documentation Research Papers: Footnotes, Citiations, and Bibliographies

  12. Footnotes • Explanatory notes are optional in the MLA documentation style. • They are used primarily to elaborate on points discussed in the research paper. • The MLA style specifies that a superscript (raised number) be used to indicate an explanatory note. • This note is on the bottom of the page as a footnote, or at the end of the document as an endnote. • In Word, note text can be any length or format. • Word automatically numbers the notes sequentially.

  14. Footnote Text Style • When inserting a footnote, Word formats the text using Footnote Text style, which does not adhere to the MLA documentation style. • According to MLA style, the footnote/endnote should be formatted like all the other paragraphs in the document. • You can change the footnote by using first line indent and double spacing. Change the size of the font to match the rest of the document. Research Papers: Footnotes, Citations, and Bibliographies
