For footnotes, click “References” on the task bar, then “Insert Footnote.” Be sure to use Arabic numerals (click box next to “Footnotes.” Check “Footnotes” box. Go to “Number format,” select 1,2,3…. Click apply). When you insert a footnote, it appears (and is numbered) automatically at the bottom of the page. Do not insert footnotes manually.

Example: Document.[footnoteRef:1] This is how you cite one of the documents that you use for your paper. [1: Author of document, “Document title,” in Robert Strayer and Eric Nelson, Ways of the World: A Brief Global History with Sources (Plymouth, MI: Bedford/St. Martin’s, 2017), p. xxx.]

Two consecutive footnotes referring to the same source: The second footnote says “Ibid.”[footnoteRef:2] If you refer to the same source twice, but not in an immediately subsequent footnote the footnote should conform to the following format: author’s last name, short title, in (followed by author’s last name, short title, and page reference). [2: Ibid. (If the page number is not the same: Ibid., p. 123).]

Internet sources: author’s first and last name, “Document title,” website’s name, accessed, date, URL.

Your paper’s first page is unnumbered. It is the cover (or the title) page. It should contain the title of your paper in bold (font size is up to you). Your name. The course title. Your instructor’s title and last name.

The bibliography is a separate page (your paper’s last page). Unlike footnotes, page references are not required for the bibliography. List all sources separately in alphabetical order. Author’s last name, first name. “Title,” in author’s first and last name, Title. City: Publisher, Year. (if your source is a document). Otherwise use format for citing books and websites. Unlike footnotes, use periods instead of parentheses. If there are several authors: first author’s last and first name, next author’s first and last name etcetera.

Cite the Standard Treaty as follows: Author’s name (mentioned in the document), The Standard Treaty. That’s it. No further bibliographic information required
