2. Mark numbers or symbols: Mark a number or symbol where footnotes need to be added in the text, and then provide corresponding explanations or references in footnotes at the bottom of the page or at the end of the text.

3. Citation and comments: If you want to cite other documents or materials in the footnote, you can use an appropriate citation format and provide detailed information of the cited documents, such as author, title, publication year, etc.

4. Notes on tables and charts: If you need to make notes on tables or charts in your paper, you can use footnotes to provide additional explanations or explanations. Under the table or chart, use the corresponding label and provide relevant information in the footnote.
