I am editing a manuscript that often quotes from a source on one page, then quotes from the same source again a few pages after the first instance. Can I use ibid in the footnote, or should I reproduce the entire citation in the footnote? In other words: can I trust the readers to remember what the last citation was? Or should I save them the trouble of flipping back to the last footnote in case they want to look up the source?

Notes: The CMoS says, "Ibid refers to a single work cited in the note immediately preceding [the quote]" (16.47). It also says ibid may be used multiple times within the same footnote (16.48).

No. since the note will come few pages after the first instance. Ibidem literally means "in the same place". although the meaning does not necessarily equate to usage, it is noteworthy to use it's literal definition.

Like what TR reported, i think of it is the thought of making off of different's suggestions for the sake of creativity. i do no longer see this as plagiarism. if it somewhat is so, they certainly everyone plagiarizes through fact each thought/theory come from someplace else with the point on making it extra useful. i do no longer think Einstein replaced into merchandising the the robbery somebody else's thought and make your individual yet making a clean affiliation between present suggestions or innovations.

You can use "ibid" but if it's been several pages it might be a good idea to recite.
