ASA style: I want ibid, but it's not there

pgodzisz
Hi there,

I have been using Zotero for a year and I like it so far.

My question is about ibid.

I am using the ASA style (american-sociological-association.csl). As far as I know, it should normally change subsequent in-text citations into ibid. But for me it doesn't work - therefore the names keep repeating. I tried using other styles that should have ibid, but none of them changes the repeated citation to ibid.

Can you please advise what I should do?

Thanks!

    No. Compare page 43 of the 4th edition of the ASA style manual:
    "Identify subsequent citations of the same source in the same way as the first."

    Generally speaking, ibid. is pretty much never used in author-date citation in the Anglosaxon countries. You occasionally see it in Germany and France.

    Thanks Adam.

    Of course, best to check in the source :)
