Here’s a run-through of everything this page includes:Ī footnote is a type of in-text citation. Your instructor may also ask you to create an annotated bibliography where you also include a short paragraph summarizing and evaluating each source along with its full reference. No matter which of these types of in-text citations you use, you will need to include a works cited list or bibliography at the end of your paper that includes the full references for your sources.

Three of the terms that sometimes get mixed up are footnotes, endnotes, and parenthetical citations.

There is a lot of terminology when it comes to citations and giving proper credit to sources.
