Endnotes, like footnotes (which are used in this article), serve two primary functions in a research paper: (1) they recognize the source of a quotation, paraphrase, or summary; and (2) they add explanatory remarks that might otherwise disrupt the flow of the main text. In other words, endnotes are a form of reference material that can help readers understand evidence that cannot be explained adequately within the body of the text. Endnotes appear at the bottom of the page in a series of boxes called "endnote markers". Within these markers, citations are listed in order with the most important information first. These include the author's name(s), the date of publication, the title of the publication where the cited material appears, and its volume number if applicable. Endnotes also include any notes regarding the citation, such as why it is being included in the report. At the end of the essay, a final box is checked to indicate whether further notes should be included. The easiest way to include endnotes in your document is by using the Note button on your keyboard. You can also attach files containing endnotes directly into the body of the document using the Insert - Online Bibliography - Endnote option. The reference list will then appear alongside other references within the document.
