How to cite the same source twice.

[SimonT]

I am preparing to write my IA for History and have assembled some sources which

I feel I will be quoting often because they have a lot of information. I would

like to know how I could cite the same source twice. I know this is basic essay

writing skills and not nececairly history but as it is for my History IA I figured

that I might as well post it here. >_<

This depends on the style you're using. I personally use Chicago (which is as far as I'm aware commonly used by historians), so first a footnote that should look like this:

Roy Allison. Finland’s Relations with the Soviet Union, 1944-84 (London: Palgrave Macmillan, 1985), p. 12-19.

Whereas the next time you cite the source would simply be:

Allison, p. xx

or if it's straight after the first citing just:

ibid, p. xx

Thats a good point, sorry for not mentioning it in my origional post.^^'

I use MLA in my school.

You can also go to

www.citationmachine.net

then it is even easier.

For MLA I did it like

Roberts, James. "History". xxx.xxx. xxx.

And then

Roberts, James. op. cit.

or you can use bibme.org, but don't you use Chicago/Turabian format for history?
