Ibid
Ibid (
Latin, short for
"ibidem", "the same place") is the term used to provide an
endnote or
footnote citation or
reference for a
source that was cited in the last endnote or footnote. It is similar in meaning to
idem, abbreviated "Id.," which is commonly used in legal citation.
To find the
Ibid source, one has to look at the reference right before it, and so 'Ibid' serves a similar purpose to 'ditto marks' ( " ).
Also means: This word/phrase/concept also defined in this document.
