There are two types of parenthetical notes that can be used under MLA style: those that provide additional content and those that offer evaluative comments on sources and/or provide several citations. These notes may be placed at the end of a paper (as endnotes) or at the bottom of the page (as footnotes).
All notes (endnotes and footnotes) should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they appear in your paper. In the text of your paper, footnote numbers should be superscripted and should follow any punctuation (except a dash).
If you include an endnotes section, it should be entitled ‘Notes’ and should appear right before your Works Cited.
