Do you have to put footnotes every time?

When using footnotes in your research paper, are you supposed to put footnotes after everything that you type from what you found from a source? Even if it is in your own words?


If so, that is alot of footnotes! thanks =]Do you have to put footnotes every time?
As an undergrad physics student....





We're told to follow the guidelines from Phys. D, a physics journal.





Anything that you have used from another source must be REFERENCED. In your text, insert a footnote number in square brackets. The references should then be listed in numerical order, again in square brackets. They should then be written in the format....





Author, title of work that has been referenced, where it can be found, if it's a journal, then date of publication, and finally the page numbers if relevant.





Hope this helps.
