Op cit

 

Op cit

Op cit (Latin, short for "opus citatum", meaning "the work cited". ) is the term used to provide an endnote or footnote citation to refer the reader to an earlier citation.

To find the Op cit source, one has to look at the all of the previous footnotes to find the relevant author. The relevant source is listed there.

Example

  • 9. R. Millan, "Art of latin grammar" (Academic, New York, 1997), p. 23.
  • 10. G.Wiki "Blah and its uses" (Blah Ltd., Old YorK, 2000), p.12.
  • 11. Millan, op. cit., p.148.

    The reference no. 11 is the same as in no 9. (R. Millan, "Art of latin grammar"), although the page is different.
