What is the correct use of op cit?
The abbreviation “Op. Cit.” is used with the author's last name and page number to denote a reference to a work previously cited in your paper. It differs from “Ibid” in that it refers to a work that does not immediately follow the one just cited.
What is ibid op cit and loc cit?
These are abbreviations from Latin: 'loc. cit. ' (from the Latin loco citato, 'in the place cited'); 'op. cit. ' (from the Latin opere citato, 'in the work cited'); 'ibid' (from the Latin ibidem, 'in the same place').
What is the abbreviation for previously cited?
Revised on May 23, 2022. Ibid. is an abbreviation of the Latin “ibidem,” meaning “in the same place.” It's used in citations to quickly cite a source that you've already cited in full in a previous footnote or endnote. This directs the reader to the previous citation.
