loppuliitteet

Loppuliitteet is a Finnish term used to describe materials attached at the end of a document. The exact meaning can vary by context, but it generally refers to notes, references, or supplementary material placed after the main text rather than within it.

In scholarly and academic writing, loppiliitteet commonly denote endnotes or end references. These notes provide citations, explanations, or additional information but are collected in a designated section at the end of the work instead of appearing as footnotes on each page. The endnotes are usually numbered sequentially and linked to corresponding markers in the text. Loppuliitteet may also encompass bibliographic information, depending on the style guide in use.

Beyond textual notes, the term can also refer to attachments or appendices appended to a document. In this sense, loppiliitteet function as supplementary material such as data tables, figures, forms, schedules, or maps. Appendices are typically organized with their own headings (for example, Appendix A, Appendix B) and may have independent pagination.

Formatting conventions for loppiliitteet vary by discipline and publisher. Endnotes are often separated from the main text by a distinct section, with each note labeled by a number or symbol. Appendices are usually listed in a table of contents and may require specific labeling and page numbering. Clear labeling and consistency are emphasized in most style guides to ensure easy navigation between the main text and the attached material.
