An Academic Look at Ibid
Ibid is a contraction of ibidem. As the last letter of the contraction is not the same as the last letter of the full version, it is often written Ibid. (i.e., with a full stop / period). (NB: This is a UK convention. In the US, a contraction tends to be written with a period regardless of whether it shares its last letter with the full version. In other words, Americans will write Dr. Jones whereas Brits tend to write Dr Jones.Example of IBID Used in a Text
