![]() Like MLA, APA discourages the use of footnotes unless absolutely necessary. Instead, when paraphrasing a key point in more than one sentence within a paragraph, cite the source in the first sentence in which it is relevant and do not repeat the citation in subsequent sentences as long as the source remains clear and unchanged. How often do you cite the same source in a paragraph? If you’re referencing the same source but different page, follow ‘Ibid’ with a comma and the new page number(s). Ibid is short for the Latin ibidem, which means “in the same place”. If you consecutively cite the same source two or more times in a note (complete or shortened), you may use the word “Ibid” instead. ![]() Do you repeat footnotes for the same source? Cite sources often and correctly throughout a paragraph in order to avoid unintentional plagiarism. Including just one citation at the end of a paragraph is not sufficient unless the last sentence is the only information in the paragraph that came from the cited source.
