Can you use both footnotes and in-text citations?
Yes, it is acceptable to use both footnotes and in-text citations in your paper. Footnotes are best used to provide an explanatory comment or additional information that would interrupt the flow of the main text. In-text citations are used to give credit to the source of your information. While both can be used together effectively, it's not recommended to repeat information in both the footnote and the text citation because it can lead to redundancy and confusion. It is recommended to use one or the other based on their specific functions and the purpose of the supplemental information you want to provide.
