When a quotation or a discussion inside a footnote is followed by a full reference, the bibliographic reference can be treated as a new sentence introduced with See or a similar word (example here from Huber 2016).

However, when a quotation or discussion inside a footnote is followed by a short reference, include the short reference within parentheses, followed by a period (examples modified from Robinson 2016).

Incorrect: 55. Entailments are “rich inferences” or knowledge (“sometimes quite detailed”) that we can infer from conceptual metaphors; Evans and Green, Cognitive Linguistics, 298–99.
