こうちゅう
noun
endnote; note placed after the text
1. endnote; note placed after the main text
An annotation gathered after the main text—at the end of a chapter or the whole work—rather than at the foot of each page. Contrasts with 脚注(きゃくちゅう) (footnote), which sits on the same page as the reference.
後注(こうちゅう)にまとめる。
To gather (them) in endnotes.

This paper uses endnotes rather than footnotes.
()みやすさを優先(ゆうせん)して、注釈(ちゅうしゃく)はすべて後注(こうちゅう)にした。
Prioritizing readability, we moved all the annotations to endnotes.

COMPOSITION: (こう) (after, later) + (ちゅう) (note, annotation). Literally "a note placed afterward."
