SHORTENING FOOTNOTES

For the second and all subsequent references to a source, use an abbreviated form. If the source and the author remain the same and if you are using only one book or article by that author, simply give the author's last name and page reference:

22 Nash, 14. [shortened from full information in footnote #14 above]

 

If, however, you are using two or more sources by that author, you must indicate which of the sources you are citing. Use the last name, a shortened title, and page reference.

 

23 Paine, Rights of Man, 16. [shortened from full information in footnote #13 above]

If you use two authors with the same last name, give the full name in the shortened footnote.

24 Joseph Johnson, Oxford Dictionary of Last Names, 170.

 

When referring to the same source consecutively (without interruption), it is acceptable to use the Latin abbreviation “Ibid.”
