Oxford footnote referencing
I had a few questions regarding how to structure my referencing
1) All of my sources are online however, a lot of it is like articles or journals that sometimes have volume and issue number). Would i reference it like a website or like a article or journal or whatever?
2) How would i reference a PDF file?
3) When writing up my bibliography, is it the exact same as the footnote but instead i write the surname first in each citation and the whole thing in alphabetical order?
4) if i use a website more than once but on different pages within my essay and i use op cit, do i just write the author initials and surname? what if theres no author?
5) if i use the same journal twice in a row but i reference different pages within the journal, how would i refer to it?
6) if someones name is idk Dr Shaun Bailey, would i reference it as Dr S. Bailey or just S. Bailey? Same goes with like 'Sir bla johnson'
7) when writing the date i accessed the source, can i write Last Accessed .... or am i not allowed to write the 'last accessed' part?
8) In my bibliography, do i just write all the sources i've used with their page numbers or without? bc i've referenced the same journal but different pages within it so would i write whatever pages i used?
9) how do i reference transcripts from online?
yeesh i've got a lot of questions but lol thanks for reading this far

1) any source with a volume and issue number is a journal article, cite it as that
2) depends what the pdf is. if it has a journal name, its an article; it could also be a thesis
3) you shouldn't really be writing a bibliography/reference list in this decade - word and docs both have referencing tools (easy to use) and there are others out there. a footnote is more than just a reference in your bibliography, here's a copypaste of a footnote in something im reading right now:
4) a website always has an author, even if its corporate. not quite sure what this questions asks but if you cite different pages, they're probably difference resources in the context of a website

hey thanks for replying!
Im not sure what you mean for 3 so if you could explain that further that'd be great thanks! Im doing this for my EPQ essay and we have to have a bibliography so its not really something I have a say in. Im using the footnotes to refer to my sources used instead of referencing in the text if that makes sense.
I realised Q4 sounds confusing so i've edited it and i've added a few more questions so if you could look at that too that'd be great.
Thank you for the help, I really appreciate it! I might attach a few examples of what i've done to double check if im doing it right

you shouldn't be writing a bibliography because word and google docs do it for you without you worrying about how it should be formatted. ask your teacher if you don't know how to use it - it'll save you time and effort

i really regret doing oxford footnotes now sigh.its a relatively unusual referencing system i don't know why you'd use it
obviously the word referencing system isn't going to work if you typed them yourself - that's not how word handles references. change now before you're any deeper in and usual something like harvard/mla/chicago/apa
