Scholarly paper question:
 

I've forgotten what I need to put in my footnotes to indicate the source for a note is the same source as the one I just previously used.

For instance:

1. Bowie, David. "Life on Mars: Good Song." (Ziggy Press; London) 2001.
2. " "

Anyone know? I've looked through my book, can't find it. Will positive rep for correct answer.

ibid you know

authors last name, shortened title, page, usually.

2. Bowie, "Life on Mars," (page)

Hmm, not sure but I believe you can put abbreviated information in parentheses immediately following the quote in the body of the work and put the full information in a bibliography at the end. Perhaps you could PM NewChief- he might know.

Oh thank you so much :clap:

The others are right too, but there was something specific I have been stressed on.

Parenthetical citation and footnote citation are different forms; usually professors want one or the other.

well, that's handy.

Could you not move the parenthetical information to the bottom of the page as a footnote?

What is "ibid you know"?

look up "ibid" on wikipedia.

do you use ibid or id? I'm sure it depends on what citation source you are supposed to use.
