What are the Differences between Footnotes and Endnotes?

Footnotes and endnotes are both used in academic and professional writing to provide additional information, cite sources, or make comments on the text. The main difference lies in their location within a document: footnotes appear at the bottom of the page where the reference or comment is made, while endnotes are collected together at the end of the document, chapter, or section. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Footnotes:

Appear at the bottom of the page containing the corresponding text. 
Numbered or marked with symbols, with a corresponding number or symbol in the text. 
Can be used for citations, explanations, or supplementary information. 
Can feel cluttered on pages with many footnotes. 

Endnotes:

Collected together at the end of the document, chapter, or section. 
Numbered or marked with symbols, with a corresponding number or symbol in the text. 
Used for similar purposes as footnotes (citations, explanations, etc.). 
May be less convenient for readers who need to jump to the end of the document, but can reduce clutter on each page.
