In a report paper, footnotes are typically used to provide additional information or references that are not essential to the main text. They are usually placed at the bottom of the page, separated from the main text by a horizontal line. Footnotes are numbered consecutively throughout the paper, and are denoted in the text by a superscript number.[^1] [^2] For example, the first footnote is marked with a superscript 1, the second with a 2, and so on.
