Do not use the footnote or endnote facility in your word-processing program; simply add the notes at the end of the main text in the same font as the main text with double spacing, no line space between each note, same font and point size as main text.
All citations should appear as endnotes, not footnotes or bracketed in the main text. Footnotes should conform to the following format:
Items to be separated by comas (no brackets, colons or semi-colons), no full stop at the end of the citation unless it contains a sentence. No full stop after note number unless there is a sentence in the note - one tab - or after p, pp or Ibid, Ibid and op cit not in italics. Foot or margin notes numerals in text in Superscript, Arabic not Greek. vol 1, no 2.
