<p>I'm trying to translate a research paper into Mandarin Chinese and I was hoping I could get some insite on proper footnote placement around punctuation. For example， if I'm trying to footnote twice in a sentence, should I place the footnote before or after the standard Chinese periods and commas (i.e. 什么什么，1什么什么。2) or should I place it before the punctuation (i.e. 什么什么1，什么什么2。)?</p>

<p>Furthermore, If I have multiple footnotes, how should they be separated? with a comma, as in English (i.e.什么什么1，2，3 ）? (along those lines, should I use full-sized punctuation in that instance or is western punctuation cleaner (i.e. 什么什么1,2,3?)</p>
