The Oxford style, also known as the documentary-note referencing system, is used mainly in law.
The in-text element used in the Oxford style is a raised number above the line. A footnote list at the bottom of each page summarises citations on that page.
An annotated bibliography at the end provides the details of each source and sometimes additional material consulted.
If you are paraphrasing, format your text as follows:
Reswick1 explains that this is critical as the designer may not be familiar with all the needs, constraints, and preferences of a disabled individual.
or
This is critical since the designer may not be familiar with all the needs, constraints, and preferences of a disabled individual1
A footnote summarising the source should be entered on the same page.
