All students know that the scientific work to take to check the teacher must be in accordance with all the rules of its writing.Often, however, the question arises, how to arrange a footnote in the course work.This is now, and want to talk.
Documents
The first thing to say is that if a specific question arose concerning the design of the course work, it is best to refer to the standard GOST 7.1-2003.It marked all the requirements for registration of various scientific works, including some information about that in just such documents should be a footnote.However, unfortunately the majority, to visit absolutely no explanation as to how to do everything.This document is intended more for the library registration bibliography.
But what about the student who wants to figure how to make a footnote in the exchange rate?Everything is simple, you need to seek help from the employees of the department or to take their requirements directly from the teacher attached.Since full information about the design of the footnotes do not have to GOST, each specialist has the right to set their own requirements for the design of various parts of the scientific work of their students.
Why do it?
Many people may be interested in information about why you need a footnote in the course work than they help.So, it is worth recalling that each individual work must be unique in its content.Of course, you can use a variety of literature, but the essence of writing a term - the analysis of the received information, its interpretation and individual supply.If you want to use a quote or insert a fragment of text from other literature, necessarily, reference to the source.If this is not done, the student can easily be accused of plagiarism, and to recognize the work of decommissioned.But it is much worse than getting a bad mark for their course (estimate at least can be corrected).
Types footnotes
It should be said that a footnote in the course work are of two types:
1. Footnotes (information about the source from which the quotation is taken, at the bottom of the page, under the text itself).
2. Inline (data source provided immediately after the quotes in brackets).They feature two digits.First: the serial number of the source in the reference list, the second: the source of the page that hosts the citation.
If no special requirements, footnotes executed by any of these methods.However, most schools prefer a more convenient inline footnotes.
Option 1. Footnotes
all probably seen look like in the final version of footnotes.Near the last word in the quote in front is small tsiferka quotes (for example, 1).Then, at the end of this sheet under the stitching small letters will be given a full explanation of what exactly the source of the quote is taken (name of the author, book title, publisher, year), and indicate the number (or numbers) of the page.In order to independently make such a footnote just intelligently take advantage of MS Word.Algorithm of actions is as follows:
- on the toolbar (located at the top of the working window) to find the tab "Insert";
- there continue to find the item "Notes and Links";
- self-install format footnote: select numbering on each page (in this embodiment, the footnote will be placed at the end of each page on which they are located).
However, it should be said that for the latest versions of "Ward" the algorithm is somewhat different:
- all on the same toolbar, you need to find the tab "Links";
- where to find further sub "Footnotes";
- click on the item "Insert Footnote" and enter information about the source manually.
important nuances
It is worth remembering that a footnote in the course work are placed only when a quote is taken from a source entirely literally.If it is written in a free quotation, but the words are still borrowed, registration of footnotes in this version will be a bit different.It will be necessary before indicating the source to write the following sentence: "See.about it".Iethe author points out that more detailed information about this can be found in a specific source.
Example: "See.about it: Ivanov IIThe general theory of the evolution of life on the planet.M .: Biola, 2000. p.19".
Likewise, will feature several references of which was taken in the same way and interpret information presented in the course work.They are supplied after the same phrases, single-line, separated by semicolons.
Option 2. Inline
So, to understand further clearance footnotes in the course work.We have said that there are two options.It is said that display inline footnotes much easier than descenders, because it does not need to use any extra features, everything is done manually.You only need to know that they must be placed in square brackets immediately after the written quote (before the dot at the end of the line).It is important to remember two pitfalls:
1. You must first number of the source from which the quotation is taken (according to the list of literature), then put a semicolon.
2. Next you need to specify the page.According to the requirements, before the number can be a symbol "s.", But maybe not.If the quote is written on several pages, it is also necessary to specify.
Examples inline links
It is also important to give examples of footnotes in the course work.So, how can they look:
1. [12;p.22];
2. [12;22];
3. [12;from.22-23];
4. [12;22-23].
All of these options are inherently correct.However, once again I want to remind that all the nuances of registration of footnotes is better to specify a teacher or employees of the department, so you do not have any questions or complaints.
Challenges in the design of inline footnotes
Analyzing how to draw a footnote in the course work, it is worth remembering that there may be some difficulties.The first one appears when in the process of registration of footnotes is not yet fully ready references.If you change the last number to some sources will be automatically changed.Therefore, it is important to remember that you must also change the numbers and footnotes, or the information will not respond to reality.Therefore, when writing a rough draft (or desktop options exchange) and to complete registration list of references in square brackets is best not to specify number of the source and the author's name (it is then much easier to be corrected).
Special rules
vyshenapisannogo read all the information, it is worth remembering a few simple but important rules of how to make a footnote in the exchange rate:
1. When making footnotes must take into account the nature of citation (full text or borrowing its interpretation).
2. It is important to remember the internal requirements of the institution for registration of footnotes.
3. Making the footnotes, it is important to remember the rules of making literature for articles, monographs, and the source, they are somewhat different.
4. Footnotes easier to change (because they are automatically put down) rather than inline.However, for the design, the second option is easier, do not require special knowledge of functions MS Word.
We have described in detail the design of footnotes in the course, as you can see, nothing complicated or supernatural.It should once try to do everything yourself, and you can make sure that there are no difficulties in the preparation of their no.
