In reply to the discussion: Senator Paul Claims to Have Written Scientific Papers.... [View all]HereSince1628
(36,063 posts)17. The sci. jounrals I've published in don't use footnotes...
footnotes refer to notes at the bottom of a page.
Science journals usually have a reference id in the text that matches with full citations placed at the end of the paper.
Maybe Rand refers to citations that way because he learned the word footnote as a senior in high school and just never transitioned to 'references' and/or 'citations'.
