Referencing notes in text
Notes-bibliography style: the basic form
Part II. Source Citation

Whenever you refer to or otherwise use material from a source, you must insert into your text a superscript number that directs your reader to a note that gives bibliographical information about that source. For most quotations, put the number immediately following, whether the quotation is run into the text or set off as a block quotation (see 25.2). For some quotations and for general citations, put reference numbers at the end of a sentence or clause, after the terminal punctuation mark, quotation mark, or closing parenthesis.

Do not include more than one reference number at the same location (such as 5, 6). Instead, use one number and include all citations or comments in a single note (see 16.3.5).

For aesthetic reasons, do not put note numbers inside or at the end of a title, subtitle, or subhead. If your note applies to the entire chapter, omit the number and put an unnumbered footnote on the first page, before any numbered notes. If a note applies to a section following a subhead, put the reference number after the first sentence in the section.
