CREATION OF FOOTNOTES

1. Footnotes (on the bottom of the page) should be used, numbered using Arabic numerals, generated automatically. Place footnote links in the text body in superscript; always before the comma, semicolon, or full stop, for example: footnote¹.
2. The footnote creation method shall follow the principles of creating a bibliographical description. Shorten first names to initials, write surnames using expanded letters (Tools -> Font -> Spacing between characters -> expanded spacing). Note: do not use manually expanded text. Keep the punctuation and order of the description elements; at the end, after a comma, provide the references to specific pages, excluding the location, for example, in the case of an article in a magazine.
3. When a publication is mentioned in a footnote for the first time, provide all the elements in full, and in subsequent references, provide only: surname, initials, the first words of the title with an ellipsis.
4. In the footnotes to a new chapter (numbered from 1), repeat the full description of each work that is quoted for the first time in this chapter, even if this description has already been given in the previous chapter.
5. If the source or any explanation is given for any additional materials such as tables, illustrations, etc., such a note should not be included in footnotes but in the text body, directly below the relevant material.
   
   Example:
   ¹ Habielski R., Osica J.: Między niewolą a wolnością. Kronika czterech pokoleń 1900–1997. 7th ed. Warszawa 2003, p. 12.
   ² Gorman M.: Przyszłość biblioteki akademickiej. “Przegląd Biblioteczny” 1995, Ann. 63, sec. 2, p. 12.
   ³ Habielski R., Osica J.: Między niewolą..., p. 14.
   
   
6. When the same publication is mentioned several times in a row, use the Latin abbreviation: ibid. (“in the same place”). If the same author’s surname is repeated in successive footnotes, the abbreviations to be used are: idem (“the same”), eadem (feminine form of “the same”), eidem (plural form of “the same”), eaedem (feminine plural form of “the same”). Other abbreviations may also be used, as adopted in specialist studies, but with clarification when first mentioned.
   
   Example:
   ³ Habielski R., Osica J.: Między niewolą..., p. 14.
   ⁴ Ibidem, p. 16.
   ⁵ Nowak A.: Budowle gotyckie w otoczeniu rokokowym Sopot 2001, p. 38; idem: Otoczenie gotyckie budowli rokokowych. Gdańsk 1999, pp. 50–80.
