by the word-processing package when you create an end-
note. Note numbers should always be located at the end of
sentences, not in the middle. You should also avoid having
multiple note numbers at different points inside or at the
end of the same sentence.

a source, covering the same items as required for Harvard
bibliographies (see above), but with the component items in
a different sequence, as:
WRITING CLEARLY◆ 131- Terence B. Jones and Arthur Crank, One Book Academics: What Goes
Wrong? (London: Futuristic Press, 1997), second edition. Terence B. Jones
and Steven A. Winge, ‘Deconstructing post-modern writers’ angst’, Times
Literary Supplement, 26 September 2000, pp. 70–1. - Terence B. Jones, ‘Academic time-wasting in universities’, American
Journal of Scholasticism(1999) vol. 12, no. 4, pp. 12–71.
The main changes here from the bibliography format are:
the author’s first name and second initial now come before
(instead of after) their surname; and the year date of
publication moves from early on in the reference to a
position just ahead of the volume number for journal
articles, and just behind the publisher name for books.
In any form of notes system you are duplicating the
bibliography to a large extent. However, on second or
subsequent citation of the same source in endnotes it is
possible to reduce the level of detail in referencing, so long
as the source remains unambiguously identifiable. You can
here retain author surnames only, plus a shortened form of
the book or article title, as:- Jones and Crank, One Book Academics, p. 87.
- Jones, ‘Academic time-wasting in universities’, pp. 15–16.
Using a chapter endnotes system involves some inconven-
ience for readers. They have to flip from a note number to the
note itself, which is located either at the end of that chapter or
at the end of the thesis as a whole. ‘Big book’ theses in type-
script and bound as one volume are bulky. So readers might
find it easier to use endnotes located on the last pages of each
chapter, rather than at the end of the whole thesis. But if your
