Which items are placed at the end of a document?

This question pertains to document formatting and academic citation styles. An end note is a reference, explanation, or comment placed specifically at the end of a document, chapter, or section. Its purpose is to provide additional information or cite sources without interrupting the main text flow on the page where the reference occurs. This placement at the very end distinguishes it from other document elements.

• A footer is a section at the bottom of every page, typically for page numbers or document titles.
• A header is a section at the top of every page, similar to a footer but at the top.
• A footnote is placed at the bottom of the specific page where the referenced text appears.

These distractors are incorrect because they are either page-specific or serve different formatting purposes.
