It means from the same place as the above reference.
Ibid (Latin, short for "ibidem", "the same place") 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 (Something that has been mentioned previously; the same[1]), abbreviated "Id.," which is commonly used in legal citation.
To find the Ibid source, one has to look at the reference right before it, and so 'Ibid' serves a similar purpose to 'ditto marks' ( " ).
Also means: This word/phrase/concept also defined in this document.

ibid is short for ibidem. As you are no doubt aware it is a Latin word. Ibid makes reference to an identical source cited in an immediately preceding footnote.
For example, in the footnote '16 Ibid., p.77,' the source referred to in footnote 16 is being referred to again, but this time citing page 77 of that source. It is all a drag but that's what it means. I hope it helps

its latin for ibidem meaning the same. In an article it just means that the referenace is from the same source as the one before it
