A footnote is a reference which leads readers to other works. A footnote is usually flagged in the main text in the form of a superscript number -- superscript 1 for the first footnote on a note, superscript 2 for the second footnote on the page, etc. Sometimes a number of regular height and position, demarcated by brackets or parentheses, is used instead .
All of a page's footnote numbers lead to bibliographical information at the bottom of the page, each source prefixed by its linked number.

If this were a printed publication, the superscript 1 would have been rendered as shown above, and the footnote would have been shown at the bottom (the foot) of the printed page. See header and footer
If this were the editorial style, the footnote would have been rendered, thus.
