[[File:Examples of Ibid, from "Justice" by Michael J- Sandel 2013-04-08 20-17.jpg|thumbnail|An example of Ibid. citations in use, from "Justice" by [[Michael J. Sandel]].]]<br />
<br />
'''Ibid.''' is an abbreviation for the [[Latin]] word ''[[wikt:ibidem#Latin|ibīdem]]'', meaning "in the same place", commonly used in an [[endnote]], [[footnote]], [[bibliography]] [[citation]], or [[reference#Scholarship|scholarly reference]] to refer to the [[Source text|source]] cited in the preceding note or list item. This is similar to ''[[Idem]]'', literally meaning "the same", abbreviated ''id.'', which is commonly used in [[legal citation]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thefreedictionary.com/idem |title=Idem|publisher=thefreedictionary.com |access-date=11 May 2008}}</ref><br />
<br />
Ibid. may also be used in the Chicago (name-date) system for in-text references where there has been a close previous citation from the same source material.<ref>Chicago Manual of Style Online, (13.64).</ref><ref>New Hart's Rules, Oxford University Press, 2005, p.396</ref> The previous reference should be immediately visible, e.g. within the same paragraph or page. <br />
<br />
Some academic publishers now prefer that "ibid." not be italicised, as it is a commonly found term.<ref>E.g., {{cite web |url= http://www.cambridge.org/us/notesforauthors/cambridge_style.doc |title=Style sheet: Cambridge University Press |format=DOC |date=2013 }}</ref> Usage differs from style or citation guides as to whether ibid should be suffixed with a full stop. For example, [[Oxford Standard for Citation of Legal Authorities]] omits full stops and does not capitalise,<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/775030305|title=OSCOLA : Oxford University Standard for the Citation of Legal Authorities|date=2012|publisher=Hart Publishers|others=Nolan, Donal., Meredith, Sandra., University of Oxford. Faculty of Law.|isbn=978-1-84946-367-6|edition=4th|location=Oxford|pages=5|oclc=775030305}}</ref> while the Economist Style guide uses a lower case starting letter with ending full stop.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1005580872|title=Style guide.|others=Economist Books.|date=5 June 2018|isbn=978-1-61039-981-4|edition=Twelfth|location=New York|pages=202|oclc=1005580872}}</ref><br />

==Example==<br />
<blockquote><br />
:[1] E. Vijh, ''Latin for Dummies'' (New York: Academic, 1997), 23.<br />
:[2] Ibid.<br />
:[3] Ibid., 29.<br />
:[4] A. Alhazred, ''The Necronomicon'' (Petrus de Dacia, 1994).<br />
:[5] Ibid. 1, 34.<br />
</blockquote><br />
Reference 2 is the same as reference 1: E. Vijh, ''Latin for Dummies'' on page 23, whereas reference 3 refers to the same work but at a different location, namely page 29. Intervening entries require a reference to the original citation in the form Ibid. <citation #>, as in reference 5.<br />
<br />

* Ibid. is used in the 1960s play ''[[Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?]]'' by [[Edward Albee]]. Albee uses an unabbreviated ibid{{huh|date=April 2017}} in his stage directions to tell an actor to use the same tone as the previous line.<br />
* In the 1989 book ''Pyramids'' by [[Terry Pratchett]], one of the Ephebian philosophers is called "Ibid".<br />
