What’s the difference between a footnote and an endnote?
The difference between a footnote and an endnote is the location in a document.
MLA footnotes and endnotes both begin with a superscript number that matches the same superscript number in the document’s prose. The number directs readers to the note with extra information.
Footnotes go at the bottom of the same page as the corresponding superscript number.
Endnotes go on a separate Notes page after the essay or article but before the Works Cited page.
