Optional 'ibid'

I was wondering if it would be possible to use a complete citation when a source is repeated rather than the automatic ibid. A professor in one of my classes this semester had mentioned that it was becoming less common to use ibid and she preferred we didn't.

Thanks,
  • This depends on the citation style that you use. For example APA style does not use ibid.
  • There are also, for Chicago Manual of Styles - a couple of versions without ibid on the repository, marked with -no ibid.
