I m sure by now a lot of us have seen 'Ibid' as one of the sources in texts and copy-pastes we see in the forums. Ever wondered which book is it, and which scholar is the author of Ibid? . . . . . . . Actually it is not a book. I searched for this 'book' and I got this in return: Ibid. (Latin, short for ibidem, meaning the same place) is the term used to provide an endnote or footnote citation or reference for a source that was cited in the preceding endnote or footnote. It is similar in meaning to idem (meaning something that has been mentioned previously; the same), abbreviated Id., which is commonly used in legal citation.[1] To find the ibid. source, one must look at the reference preceding it. Its just a word denoting the source used is same as the earlier quoted source. |
