in writing a research paper is it obligatory to use the footnotes and endnotes?
RépondreSupprimerCan you please tell us abt the diffrence between endnotes and footnotes from methodological point of view?
thank you
The biggest difference between footnotes and endnotes is where the notes are placed. Footnotes appear at the bottom of the page for any notes that apply to each specific page. Endnotes appear collectively at the end of a paper, starting on a separate page and labeled as “Endnotes.”
