Additional Comments

 

If you are using endnotes/footnotes and are repeating the same source, you may abbreviate the name of the source.  For example, if you have two citations in a row from the same source, on the second citation put Ibid., page #.  Also, if you use a citation more than once but not consecutively, you can use a short version of the citation.  For example, after citing my book with a full citation the first time, you could use, Snead, Gaither Committee, page #.
