  1. A Step-By- Step Guide To Draft Footnotes And Endnotes In Oxford Referencing Style Are you asking yourself, “How I wish someone could tell me how to cite my academic papers accurately in Oxford referencing style?” Do not worry, you are not the only one contemplating this question. Thousands of students of the US often find it difficult to create footnotes and endnotes perfectly. In this blog, we would walk you through a step-by-step guide that would help you nail the citation work in your paper like a pro. Creating The Footnotes 1. Insert Footnotes If your aim is to create a footnote accurately in Oxford style without the use of an Oxford referencing generator, then it is crucial to go through this segment carefully. Click on the ‘Insert’ tab in your word processor and choose footer. Your citation of a book would appear as follows- Example- 2 A. Johnson. Baking Is Exciting, New York: Penguin Publishing, 2010, p.33 2. Incorporate the superscript numbers on the page The size of your footer will depend on how many sources you cite on a particular page. Suppose, the superscript number is bold – 2 A. Johnson. Making of a Victorian Cake, Journal of Baking, vol. 60, no. 2, 2003, pp. 300-372 3. Start Creating The Footnote

  2. A look at the Oxford referencing guide would help you understand that while creating the footnotes, the author’s first name would be listed first, not the surname. List the title of the work in italics. Add the volume and issue number if you have one. Make it a point to use the publishing city and publisher if it’s a book. Example- 2, A.Johnson. Making of a Victorian Cake. Journal of Baking, vol. 60, no. 2, 2003, pp. 573-578. Drafting A Reference Page 1. Create A Separate Page At The End Of The Document While creating your reference page, following the guidelines of the Oxford referencing style, list all the sources of external references used in the paper in one page. You can copy and paste the entries from your footnotes. However, be ready to fix the names of the author, which will be listed distinctly. Title your page as ‘Reference List’. 2. List all of your references in alphabetical order by surname A look at the Oxford reference online samples would reveal that while drafting the reference list they would be organized in alphabetical order. List the author’s surname first for each entry. Otherwise, your entries would look exactly the same as they did in the footnotes. Example- Johnson, A. The Sound Of The Mills. Journal of Audio and Techniques, vol. 60. No. 10, 2007, pp.300-392 Creating footnotes and endnotes accurately in Oxford referencing style is not an easy feat. However, this task would cease to be overwhelming if you are acquainted with the accurate steps to draft the citations. Comprehend the aforementioned steps and draw an idea from examples to draft flawless citation lists of your own. Happy citing, mates!
