Footnotes are used in some books and research work, particularly work published in the social sciences discipline. Footnotes are intended to provide readers with further information or to share copyright permission information.

A few footnote usage rules:

Footnotes are numbered consecutively throughout the research paper, not restarting numbering on each page.
Each quotation requires a footnote.
Footnotes are always double-spaced.
Footnotes are referenced using a superscript number.

While APA style discourages the use of footnotes in most circumstances, footnotes are used in the Chicago Manual of Style (CMS).
