Bharatpedia uses various ''referencing systems'' to [[Bharatpedia:Citing sources|cite sources]] that support assertions in the article and to add explanatory and supplementary material. This page compares two systems that are currently used ([[#Footnotes|Footnotes]] and [[#Shortened footnotes|Shortened footnotes]]) and two older systems that are deprecated and no longer used for new articles ([[#Footnote3|Footnote3]] and [[#Parenthetical referencing|Parenthetical referencing]]). | |||

Footnote3 is a [[deprecation|deprecated]] method of referencing. New articles should not be created with it. Although it appears similar to the Footnotes system, it uses the {{tl|ref}} and {{tl|note}} templates. | Footnote3 is a [[deprecation|deprecated]] method of referencing.

[[Parenthetical referencing]] is a [[citation]] system in which citations are added within sentences using [[brackets]] (parentheses). An example would be "Paris is the capital of France (Smith 2020, p. 1)". Full citations are collected in footnotes or endnotes, or in alphabetical order by author's last name, under a "references", "bibliography", or "works cited" heading at the end of the text. | [[Parenthetical referencing]] is a [[citation]] system in which citations are added within sentences using [[brackets]] (parentheses).

While some existing articles may still use this form of citation, new articles should not be created with it. | ||
