can someone tell me how to cite a source like this: Asthma and sinusitis solutions have been recognized in the years past by the medical community [1]
**But the bracketed 1 ([1]) is a superscript on community.**
What is that citation called? and where can I read about it on the internet?
I hope you don't get confused on what I'm trying to say. :)
Those are called footnotes. I would give you some links, but I can't. I would just recommend googling "footnotes" for some relevant information.
thank you for helping me:) I'll search on it right now

This is one of the best sites online that give clear instruction on how to cite sources. Hold your cursor over CITING SOURCES and click on the type of resource you are referring to (book, magazine article, etc.). It'll show you how to cite in your paper itself as well as how to list the item in the Works Cited page. There's also a section that gives instruction on setting them up as footnotes.
The type of citation you are referring to is called a superscript citation or a sequential citation. This style of citation is commonly used in academic writing to acknowledge the sources of information within the text.
To cite a source with a superscript citation in your example, you would typically include a corresponding reference entry in your bibliography or reference list. Here's an example of how it could look:
In-text citation: Asthma and sinusitis solutions have been recognized in the years past by the medical community[^1^].
Reference entry: [^1^] Author's Last Name, Author's First Name. "Title of the Source." Journal or Book Title, vol. number, no. issue number, year, page numbers.
To find more information about citation styles and how to apply different types of citations, you can visit various credible websites such as Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL), The APA Style Blog, or The MLA Style Center. These websites provide comprehensive explanations and guidelines on citing sources in different formats such as APA, MLA, and Chicago style.
