Information Booster:
· The term "Ibid." (short for the Latin ibidem, meaning "in the same place") is used in footnotes when two or more successive references are made to the exact same source and the same page number.
· It avoids the repetition of the full citation.
· For example, if Footnote 1 cites a book, Footnote 2 can simply say "Ibid."
· If it refers to the same page of that same book.
Additional Knowledge:
· Serial number of a Table: This would be indicated as "Table 1" or similar, not "Ibid."
· To depict a caption: Captions are written plainly, not with "Ibid."
· Alphabetically written reference: This describes a bibliography, not the function of "Ibid." in a footnote.
