[> Subject: Footnote & Parentheses Author: Eugenia [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:46:34 03/11/02 Mon We don't really need footnote for our book review. Kirk is referencing the pages where he took the quotes from the book. So Hardie suggested him to use parentheses instead. For me, I just put the page number at the end of the quote I took from the book. As for footnote, I think it will be more useful for longer article writing. For e.g, in one of my paragraph where i referenced a few books or articles: This is quote from book A. This is quote from book A(1).This is quote from book G, "Blah blah blah". This is quote from book G, "Blah blah blah". This is quote from book G, "Blah blah blah". This is quote from book G, "Blah blah blah"(2). ------------------------------------------- Footnote: 1. Book A, Author name, Year 2. Book G, Author name, Year (pp. 10-15) ------------------------------------------- Something like that, for better understanding ask Hardie. =) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Footnote & Parentheses Author: Eugenia [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:22:32 03/11/02 Mon That's means apart from the article you are reviewing, if you used any other sources as reference in your article, you need to reference them. It doesnt matter if it's for the issues or research report.. as long as you referenced other sources, you need to put them down in the references section. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
