Bible
When referring to citations from the Bible or some other well-known scriptures,
use standard abbreviations for the books, both in the text as well as in the notes.
Hence the footnote includes the book name (in abbreviation), the chapter
number: the verses. The names of the books of the Bible are not italicised.
Besides, one could also provide the details of the version that one was reading.
For example:

1 Ps. 104: 6-14 NJB. (NJB means - New Jerusalem Bible - The expansion should not be
written here in footnotes. Instead it should be written in abbreviation section.)
2 Mt. 12: 1-5.

 3 1 Cor 13: 1-13 RSV. (Revised Standard Version)

Reference Works

Well-known reference works are usually cited in notes rather than

Bibliography. Within the note, one may omit the publication details but for other
reference works one may include the publication details.

The Name of the Reference Work, Number ed. (Place of Publication:

Publisher’s Name, Year of Publication), s.v. “Name of the Reference,” p. x.

s.v. means (sub verbum = ‘under the word’).

1 Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th ed., s.v. “Blake, William,” by Cosyns-Carr.

Or

1 Cosyns-Carr, “Blake, William,” in Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th ed.

But if you are giving references to articles from less-known encyclopaedias, or if

you would not like to take the risk you could offer full details both in the footnote
section and the Bibliography section. For example,
2 Micheal Inwood, “Hermeneutics,” Routledge Encyclopaedia of Philosophy, gen. ed.
Edward Craig (London: Routledge, 1998), pp. 384–385.

 Points to be Noted:

1. The second name of the author can be written in small Caps. This
is to differentiate the first name and the second name.
1. Samuel Enoch STUPMF, Socrates to Sartre: A History of Philosophy (New York: McGraw-
Hill, Inc., 1994), p. 179.

2. When the same reference is repeated in footnotes, you are not

expected to repeat the whole reference, instead you may simply
write Ibid. [This is the abbreviation of ibidem]. The meaning of the
Latin word is ‘in the same place’.
1. Samuel Enoch STUPMF, Socrates to Sartre: A History of Philosophy (New York: McGraw-
Hill, Inc., 1994), p. 179.

2. Ibid.

3. When the same book is referred again in the reference, it is suffice

to mention the second name of the author.
4. First time reference has to be given in full. If you think that you
will quote the book on many occasions, at the end of the (first
time) reference, you should write: Henceforth, the book will be
referred as ….One could also write the shorter title of the book
which has to be duly mentioned at the first appearance of the
reference in the Footnote. At the occurrence of the second time,
use the second name of the author, and then the shortened form
of the title.
Eg.
3. Samuel Enoch STUPMF, Socrates to Sartre: A History of Philosophy (New York: McGraw-
Hill, Inc., 1994), p. 179. [Hereafter the book will be referred to as Socrates to Sartre].

4. STUPMF, Socrates to Sartre, p. 180.

5. There are other words like op. cit. (opus citatum meaning ‘the work
quoted’). This may be used in case an author of whom only one
work is being considered in the entire thesis. When the reference is
used for the second time or third time (not successive – for which
you have to use ibid.), the second name of the author, then use op.
cit. However, the student can totally do away with the expressions
like (op. cit., or idem – just to refer to one author or authors in the
continuous reference where the work of the author is different /
loc. cit.
6. When there are successive reference occurs, and the second
reference appears on a new page, although technically it would be
correct to use ibid., it is advised that you write the shortened
reference rather than ibid.
