TURABIAN CITATION: FOOTNOTES

Turabian, pp

When to footnote? When to quote directly? Direct Quotation Paraphrasing Summarizing The original language uses particular, discipline-specific terminology The original language is especially expressive, beautiful, or otherwise significant It is necessary to present someone’s exact words without any interpretation or change You wish first to present an author’s exact words, then to give your interpretation of those words

Paraphrasing Paraphrasing gives you the opportunity to explain the original source by… Putting someone else’s thoughts into your own words, Making those thoughts clearer and more to the point, Applying thoughts from one context to another context, Giving further examples of how the idea works.

Footnotes: What Are They? Footnotes (found at the bottom of the page) tell the reader exactly where the information cited can be found. The first note indicating use of a source will give full bibliographic information (author, title, date of publication, publisher, etc.) plus the page number for the information cited. Additional footnotes immediately following the first can be noted with Ibid. (meaning in the same place), followed by the page number for the information cited; OR an abbreviated reference listing the author’s name, title of work if necessary, and the page number. Additional footnotes referring to a previous note, but not immediately following ALWAYS list the author’s name (title of work when necessary) and the page number.
