I'm writing my dissertation, and have an issue with referencing and footnotes. In a piece of coursework, I put the footnote number in the middle of a sentence, as that was the only part i was citing - the rest of the sentence was my idea, and if I put the number at the end it would look as if the whole sentence came from my source. However, my tutor marked on it a comment that footnote numbers go at the end of the sentence. I understand that is the general rule, but how do I get around this? I don't want to credit my ideas to someone else! I could sometimes restructure the sentences, but that doesn't always flow very well.
As it's now the dissertation stage, I want to make sure I don't lose marks through silly things like that.
I've sent my tutor an email about it but she tends to be a bit hard to reach, so I'm asking here in case I don't hear from her for ages
Thank you!
