What's the difference between footnotes and endnotes in a paper?
1. Different text: Footnotes or endnotes consist of two interrelated parts, namely, the reference mark of the note and the corresponding text of the note. You can use any length of text in a note and format the note text just like any other text.

2. Different locations: Footnotes are generally located at the bottom of the page and can be used as comments on the contents of the document. Endnotes are generally located at the end of the document, listing the source of quotations, etc.

3. Different applications: footnotes explain a word or sentence in the text, which is inconvenient to explain in the text, for fear of affecting the continuity of the text, and an explanation is inserted at the top of the footer. It is a reference that only appears on the current page, not every page in this section. Endnotes are similar to captions in form and are generally used in sentences or paragraphs. There are explanations at the end of the full text, which are far from the main information.

Precautions:

1. What has become common sense in this field should be excluded from the abstract of the paper. It is forbidden to write what should appear in the introduction into the abstract, and generally do not explain and comment on the content of the paper (especially self-evaluation).

2. Don't simply repeat the information already in the title.

3. Rigorous structure, concise expression and exact semantics. What to write first, then what to write, should be arranged in logical order. Sentences should be coherent and echo each other.

4. Be careful with long sentences and keep them as simple as possible. Every sentence should be clear, and there should be no vague, general or vague words, but the abstract is a complete essay after all, and telegraph writing is not enough. The abstract is not segmented.
