Footnotes and appendices in uni reports?
Ok, so I'm writing a twenty five page report for a group project. I want to feature some appendices (not included in the page count :P) - but I'm not sure how to reference to them. Say, I have an appendix 5.3 which is all about the satsuma of the citrus family of fruits (it's just an example!) and a passage...
After looking through many recipes and methods of creating this dish, we have chosen to include the satsuma fruit in our recipe instead of the orange, even though they are both of the citrus family.
And I want to point people to appendix 5.3 for more information about the satsuma (and maybe insight into why we chose it).
Is there a standard way of doing this? Do I use footnotes (if so, what is the format for referencing appendices in footnotes), or shall I just type "(see appendix 5.3)" after 'satsuma' in the passage?
Thank-you in advance for the help.
I hope you use Microsoft Word.
Microsoft Word has fabulous features to assist when you do essays and dissertations. There are different formats you can choose.
Footnotes are used where ever you need to give an explanation or a reference for a word you are using to assist the reader.
Open Microsoft Word :
Go to INSERT in the menu bar and click on it
You'll get a a box with options for footnotes or end notes and where you want to place them.
I always use footnotes and place them at the bottom of my page.
Now select AUTO NUMBER
To see more options open OPTIONS otherwise click on OK.
Every time you want to make a footnote place your cursor right up against the word and click on INSERT. A small reference number will appear next to the word and a corresponding number will appear at the bottom of the page, this is where you write your reference for your word, book etc.
If you need to cancel a footnote just place your cursor behind the small number next to your word in the essay and hit delete. This will delete the number and your reference in the footnote.
Lets say you have a whole bunch of footnotes and you need to add one somewhere in the middle. Just repeat the process and Microsoft Word will re-number all your footnotes and your references automatically.
Here are some helpful links.
