This style is best explained by example. \subsection*{Outline} Let's assume a \texttt{bib} file with the following entries: \begin{inlinetable} \begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{@{}CX@{}} \toprule \multicolumn{1}{@{}H}{Entry Key} & \multicolumn{1}{H}{Entry Data} \\ \cmidrule(r){1-1}\cmidrule(l){2-2} a1 & Author A, Title 1 \\ a2 & Author A, Title 2 \\ a3 & Author A, Title 3 \\ b1 & Author B, Title 1 \\ \bottomrule \end{tabularx} \end{inlinetable} % Here's an example of how this citation scheme works: \begin{inlinetable} \begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{@{}VlX@{}} \toprule \multicolumn{1}{@{}H}{Command} & \multicolumn{1}{H}{Conditions} & \multicolumn{1}{H}{Citation} \\ \cmidrule(r){1-1}\cmidrule(lr){2-2}\cmidrule(l){3-3} \code{\cite{a1}} & Initial reference & Verbose citation \\ \cmidrule(r){1-1}\cmidrule(lr){2-2}\cmidrule(l){3-3} \code{\cite{b1}} & Initial reference & Verbose citation \\ \cmidrule(r){1-1}\cmidrule(lr){2-2}\cmidrule(l){3-3} \code{\cite[26]{a1}} & Author changed & Author, \emph{op.~cit.}, page \\ & + Title is last title by \emph{this} author \\ & + Page is new/different from last page cited \\ \cmidrule(r){1-1}\cmidrule(lr){2-2}\cmidrule(l){3-3} \code{\cite[59]{b1}} & Author changed & Author, \emph{op.~cit.}, page \\ & + Title is last title by \emph{this} author \\ & + Page is new/different from last page cited \\ \cmidrule(r){1-1}\cmidrule(lr){2-2}\cmidrule(l){3-3} \code{\cite[26]{a1}} & Author changed & Author, \emph{loc.~cit.} \\ & + Title is last title by \emph{this} author \\ & + Page is last page cited from \emph{this} work \\ \cmidrule(r){1-1}\cmidrule(lr){2-2}\cmidrule(l){3-3} \code{\cite[59]{b1}} & Author changed & Author, \emph{loc.~cit.} \\ & + Title is last title by \emph{this} author \\ & + Page is last page cited from \emph{this} work \\ \cmidrule(r){1-1}\cmidrule(lr){2-2}\cmidrule(l){3-3} \code{\cite{a2}} & Initial reference & Verbose citation \\ \cmidrule(r){1-1}\cmidrule(lr){2-2}\cmidrule(l){3-3} \code{\cite{b1}} & Author changed & Author, \emph{op.~cit.} \\ & + Title is last title by \emph{this} author \\ \cmidrule(r){1-1}\cmidrule(lr){2-2}\cmidrule(l){3-3} \code{\cite{a1}} & Author changed & Author, Title \\ & + Title different from last title by \emph{this} author \\ & + Title has been cited before \\ \cmidrule(r){1-1}\cmidrule(lr){2-2}\cmidrule(l){3-3} \code{\cite[55]{a2}} & Same author & \emph{idem}, Title, page \\ & + Title different from last title by \emph{this} author \\ & + Title has been cited before \\ \cmidrule(r){1-1}\cmidrule(lr){2-2}\cmidrule(l){3-3} \code{\cite[25]{a2}} & Same author and title & \emph{ibidem}, page \\ & + Page is different from last page cited \\ \cmidrule(r){1-1}\cmidrule(lr){2-2}\cmidrule(l){3-3} \code{\cite[25]{a2}} & Same author and title and page & \emph{ibidem}, page \\ \code{\cite[25]{a2}} & (with option \texttt{ibidpage=true}) & \emph{ibidem} \\ \bottomrule \end{tabularx} \end{inlinetable} \clearpage \subsection*{Additional package options} \subsubsection*{The \texttt{ibidpage} option} The scholarly abbreviation \emph{ibidem} is sometimes taken to mean both `same author~+ same title' and `same author~+ same title~+ same page' in traditional citation schemes. By default, this is not the case with this style because it may lead to ambiguous citations. If you you prefer the wider interpretation of \emph{ibidem}, set the package option \texttt{ibidpage=true} or simply \texttt{ibidpage} in the preamble. The default setting is \texttt{ibidpage=false}. \subsubsection*{The \texttt{strict} option} A case related to the definition of \emph{ibidem} is the scope of the \emph{ibidem} and \emph{idem} replacements. By default, this style will only use such abbreviations if the respective citations are given in the same footnote or in consecutive footnotes. The point of this restriction is also to avoid potentially ambiguous citations. Here's an example: \begin{verbatim} ...\footcite{aristotle:anima} ...\footcite{aristotle:anima} ...\footnote{Averroes touches upon this issue in his \emph{Epistle on the Possibility of Conjunction}.} ...\footcite{aristotle:anima} \end{verbatim} % This could be rendered as follows: \begin{pseudofootnotes} \footcite{aristotle:anima} \footcite{aristotle:anima} \footnote{Averroes touches upon this issue in his \emph{Epistle on the Possibility of Conjunction}.} \footcite{aristotle:anima} \end{pseudofootnotes} % What does the \emph{ibidem} in the last footnote refer to? The last formal citation, as given in the first and the second footnote (Aristotle), or the informal reference in the third one (Averroes)? Too avoid such citations, this style will only use \emph{ibidem} and \emph{idem} replacements if the respective citations are given in the same footnote or in consecutive footnotes: \begin{pseudofootnotes*} \footcite{aristotle:anima} \footcite{aristotle:anima} \footnote{Averroes touches upon this issue in his \emph{Epistle on the Possibility of Conjunction}.} \footcite{aristotle:anima} \end{pseudofootnotes*} % Depending on your writing and citing habits, however, you may prefer the less strict \emph{ibidem} and \emph{idem} handling. You can force that by setting the package option \texttt{strict=false} in the preamble. It is still possible to mark a manually inserted discursive citation with \cmd{mancite} when required: \begin{verbatim} ...\footcite{aristotle:anima} ...\footnote{\mancite Averroes touches upon this issue in his \emph{Epistle on the Possibility of Conjunction}.} ...\footcite{aristotle:anima} \end{verbatim} % This will suppress the \emph{ibidem} in the last footnote. \subsubsection*{The \texttt{citepages} option} Use this option to fine-tune the formatting of the \texttt{pages} and \texttt{pagetotal} fields in verbose citations. When an entry with a \texttt{pages} field is cited for the first time and the \texttt{postnote} is a page number or a page range, the citation will end with two page specifications: \begin{quote} Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} pp.\,100--150, p.\,125. \end{quote} % In this example, \enquote{125} is the \texttt{postnote} and \enquote{100--150} is the \texttt{pages} field (there are similar issues with the \texttt{pagetotal} field). This may be confusing to the reader. The \texttt{citepages} option controls how to deal with these fields in this case. The option works as follows, given these citations as an example: \begin{verbatim} \cite{key} \cite[a note]{key} \cite[125]{key} \end{verbatim} % \texttt{citepages=permit} allows duplicates, i.e., the style will print both the \texttt{pages}\slash \texttt{pagetotal} and the \texttt{postnote}. This is the default setting: \begin{quote} Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} pp.\,100--150. Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} pp.\,100--150, a note. Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} pp.\,100--150, p.\,125. \end{quote} % \texttt{citepages=suppress} unconditionally suppresses the \texttt{pages}\slash \texttt{pagetotal} fields in citations, regardless of the \texttt{postnote}: \begin{quote} Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book.} Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} a note. Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} p.\,125. \end{quote} % \texttt{citepages=omit} suppresses the \texttt{pages}\slash \texttt{pagetotal} in the third case only. They are still printed if there is no \texttt{postnote} or if the \texttt{postnote} is not a number or range: \begin{quote} Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} pp.\,100--150. Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} pp.\,100--150, a note. Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} p.\,125. \end{quote} % \texttt{citepages=separate} separates the \texttt{pages}\slash \texttt{pagetotal} from the \texttt{postnote} in the third case: \begin{quote} Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} pp.\,100--150. Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} pp.\,100--150, a note. Author. \enquote{Title.} In: \emph{Book,} pp.\,100--150, esp. p.\,125. \end{quote} % The string \enquote{especially} in the third case is the bibliography string \texttt{thiscite}, which may be redefined. \subsubsection*{The \texttt{dashed} option} By default, this style replaces recurrent authors/editors in the bibliography by a dash so that items by the same author or editor are visually grouped. This feature is controlled by the package option \texttt{dashed}. Setting \texttt{dashed=false} in the preamble will disable this feature. The default setting is \texttt{dashed=true}. \subsection*{Hints and caveats} If you want terms such as \emph{ibidem} to be printed in italics, redefine \cmd{mkibid} as follows: \begin{verbatim} \renewcommand*{\mkibid}{\emph} \end{verbatim} % German users should note that the scholarly abbreviations typically used in German do not make a clear distinction between \emph{op.~cit.} and \emph{loc.~cit.} Both are rendered as \emph{a.a.O.}, possibly causing some citations to be misleading. It may be preferable to use the \texttt{verbose-trad2} style in German documents. If you really want to use \texttt{verbose-trad1}, use the Latin keywords. This is accomplished by putting the following in the preamble or the configuration file: \begin{verbatim} \DefineBibliographyStrings{german}{% idem = {idem}, idemsm = {idem}, idemsf = {eadem}, idemsn = {idem}, idempm = {eidem}, idempf = {eaedem}, idempn = {eadem}, idempp = {eidem}, ibidem = {ibid\adddot}, opcit = {op\adddotspace cit\adddot}, loccit = {loc\adddotspace cit\adddot}, } \end{verbatim} % Now let's go over the previous examples again, using real bibliography entries this time. \clearpage \subsection*{\cmd{footcite} examples} This is just filler text.\footcite{aristotle:anima} This is just filler text.\footcite{averroes/bland} This is just filler text.\footcite[26]{aristotle:anima} This is just filler text.\footcite[59--61]{averroes/bland} This is just filler text.\footcite[26]{aristotle:anima} This is just filler text.\footcite[59--61]{averroes/bland} This is just filler text.\footcite{aristotle:physics} This is just filler text.\footcite{averroes/bland} This is just filler text.\footcite{aristotle:anima} This is just filler text.\footcite[55]{aristotle:physics} This is just filler text.\footcite[25]{aristotle:physics} % ibidpage=true would suppress the following page number: This is just filler text.\footcite[25]{aristotle:physics} \clearpage % If the 'shorthand' field is defined, the shorthand is introduced % on the first citation.
