Citing sources – footnote/endnote
(used for: arts, history, English literature, art & design)
In this system each in-text citation is consecutively numbered and a corresponding
numbered note, containing publication information about the source, is provided at the foot of
the page or end of the chapter or paper. A bibliography at the end of the work lists authors’
names alphabetically, with surname followed by initials.
Note: This is a referencing system, not a single style, so the version required by your
department may differ from the examples given here. Always check your own
faculty/department’s guidelines and be consistent in whatever format you use.
In-text citations



Numbering should be consecutive (1, 2, 3, 4) throughout the chapter or paper.
Numbers can either be represented as superior figures, eg. 1 or as normal size figures
usually in brackets, eg. (1).
Numbering should always follow punctuation marks:
Nord's1 opinion...
Nord1 and Wild.2



not
not
Nord1's opinion...
Nord1 and Wild2.
Footnotes are listed at the foot of the page on which the citation appears.
Where citations are too numerous to fit neatly at the foot of the pages, they should be listed
on a separate page at the end of the chapter or paper as endnotes.
A single in-text number may include more than one source, all of which are listed in the
corresponding footnote or endnote.
Heritage was a word originally used to describe the treasured possessions parents handed down to their
children in societies which valued and respected their ancestral relationships.28
28. G. Davison, ‘The Meanings of Heritage’ in A Hertiage Handbook, Allen & Unwin, North Sydney, 1991, p. 1; Bonyady, p. 62.

If the citation is a direct quote, the page number or numbers must be given in the
corresponding note
Swales states that ‘the propensity for early categorization can lead to a failure to understand particular
discourses in their own terms’.2
2 J. Swales, Genre Analysis, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, p. 63.
First reference to a source

The first reference must contain all of the information necessary for a reader to find the cited
work.
1 G. R. Palmer and S. D. Short, Healthcare and Public Policy: An Australian Analysis, 3rd ed., Macmillan, South Yarra, 2000, pp.33-34.
Subsequent references

Subsequent references to a previously cited work can be abbreviated as follows:
1 G.R. Palmer & S.D. Short, Healthcare and Public Policy: An Australian Analysis, 3rd ed., Macmillan, South Yarra, 2000.
2…
3 Palmer & Short, p. 53.
This way of citing later references is now more common than using the Latin abbreviations
op.cit. (for previously cited works) or ibid. (repeat of the preceding reference), but check
with your department.
