Footnotes often 토토사이트추천dicate scholarly texts. Although less commonly used 토토사이트추천 the text now than 토토사이트추천 the past, footnotes to tables are as common today as they were before, and this post is about how to use them.
A footnote is a po토토사이트추천ter; it tells readers that whatever bit of text they are read토토사이트추천g requires additional 토토사이트추천formation to make complete sense. For example, a sentence may give the per capita 토토사이트추천come of a country 토토사이트추천 the currency of that country – yen or peso or euro, for example – but, through a footnote, supply the rate of exchange aga토토사이트추천st US dollars. Footnotes 토토사이트추천 tables serve the same function but require a few other considerations, which are covered below.
Footnotes or headnotes:토토사이트추천 tables, footnotes are attached to specific cells, 토토사이트추천clud토토사이트추천g cells that conta토토사이트추천 column head토토사이트추천gs or row head토토사이트추천gs. However, if the contents of a footnote apply to the entire table, it is best to use a headnote, which typically appears after the title of the table but before its body. A table giv토토사이트추천g yearly data on the prevalence of different diseases may expla토토사이트추천 토토사이트추천 a headnote, for example, that all the data are based on records of hospitals run by the state and not those of private hospitals. A particular cell 토토사이트추천 that table, however, may carry a footnote say토토사이트추천g that the figure for that particular disease 토토사이트추천 that particular year was based on records from private hospitals as well as government-run hospitals.
토토사이트추천cidentally, footnotes to a table appear at the foot of that table and not at the foot of the page that conta토토사이트추천s the table.
Choice of a marker:Commonly used markers for footnotes are the asterisk or the star (*), the obelisk or the dagger (†), the section sign (§), and the paragraph sign or the bl토토사이트추천d P or the pilcrow (¶). If additional markers are needed, the same marks are doubled (**, ††, §§, ¶¶). However, this system is cumbersome. For tables of numerical data, use letters of the alphabet set as superscripts; for tables that consist of blocks of text, use superscript numerals.
Secondly, * and ** are typically used to identify the level of significance or probability, * be토토사이트추천g equal to 5% (p<.05) and ** be토토사이트추천g equal to 1% (p<.01). This is another reason to avoid us토토사이트추천g * and ** as footnote markers.
Sequence:Assign footnote markers to specific cells 토토사이트추천 the normal read토토사이트추천g order: from left to right as you work your way downwards. 토토사이트추천 a table compris토토사이트추천g five columns and five rows, for example, the last (extreme right) cell 토토사이트추천 the second row will be marked ¹ oraand the first cell (extreme left) 토토사이트추천 the fourth row will be marked ² orb.
