Other points to remember:

 

After citing a source in a footnote for the first time, subsequent references to the same source should use a “short” citation: Author, pg#. (e.g. Proksch, 15.)

 

When citing the same item in two consecutive footnotes use: Ibid., pg#. (e.g. Ibid., 15.)

 

When citing the same author (different source) in two consecutive footnotes, or within a single footnote use “Idem” in place of the author’s name.

 

When citing multiple sources in a single footnote, end the citations with “;” until the final entry (which ends with “.”).

 

When listing multiple items by the same author in a bibliography, use “__________” in place of the author’s name after the first entry.

 

When citing a source that has been translated from another language, include the translator’s name in the citation (e.g. “trans. XXX” after the title of the source for a footnote or “translated by XXX” after the title for a bibliographic entry.)
