Ibid (Latin, short for "ibidem", "the same place", abbreviated "Id.") 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^[1]), abbreviated "Id.," which is commonly used in legal citation.
