Answer:
Footnotes are placed at the bottom of the page to which they refer following the single-space two-column style of the main text and written in 11 pts. TimesNewRoman font. A line must be placed above the footnote field to separate it from the text, for example:
1/ This is a sample footnote.
2/ This is a second sample footnote.
The footnotes are indicated in the text by superscript footnote markers. The footnotes should be numbered consecutively using superscript Arabic numerals. Some superscript special characters can be used instead to designate a consecutive number of footnote markers:
*, †, ‡, §,…
Footnotes are used mainly for:
- providing information about authors' affiliation;
- including a brief explanatory text;
- citing a source of information;
A footnote to an author's name concerning its affiliation should include the postal address and the e-mail of the author.
Footnotes to the title of the paper are discouraged. The explanatory footnotes highlight certain aspects of the study which are somehow related to it but could be written separately from the main text. Such brief explanatory texts should contain a few sentences only. Well known information which is universally accepted should not be a part of a footnote. The footnotes should contain less known information or additional evidence to support statements in the text which are a subject of an ongoing discussion or controversy.
Citations must preferably be inline or in parentheses rather than in footnotes. A footnote citing a source of information is usually combined with a short explanatory text. One can occasionally use "Ibidum" when a footnote refers to the source cited in the preceding footnote.
Similarly to the table headnotes, there are also table footnotes which should be aligned to the left side of the column and written in 10 pts. Arial font below the bottom row of the tables. Table footnotes refer to specific items within the tables.
