galtfan19 Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Does anyone know what IBID refers to? It is used as a source in Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand. Someone please help me on this. Thanks, Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alon Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Short form of the Latin ibidem, it means the same as the source just quoted above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex_banana-eater Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 I've heard "ibid" means "in the same place." It must be followed by a page number if the material being referenced to is on another page than the last reference. When you are writing and want to refer to a previously cited source that is not the same as the last one, you can also write "op. cit." This must be done with the author's name in front, and usually a page number at the very end if appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone please help me on this. Thanks, Will OK not the definition. I have a fuzzy photocopy of this page and I still can't make out the preceding lines that matches the ibid.

bluecherry Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 OK not the definition. I have a fuzzy photocopy of this page and I still can't make out the preceding lines that matches the ibid. I have OPAR with me, but "ibid" is used many times, so you'll have to be more specific about where you are looking. What page number of OPAR are you looking at with that fuzzy copy and what is the number to the left of the line that says "ibid"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D'Ippolito Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Ibid means, basically, "ditto" on what work is being cited. You may have to go back through five or six or twenty "ibid"s to figure out what work it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
