Searching for an author date ibid style

huskeyy
Hi there,

in my school we are usually working with the Harvard Anglia Ruskin Style (Author, date, p.number). Since this style does not automatically do the ibid. if I cite the same work again after the first one, I am considering to change to a similar style that does the ibid. automatically. I guess my professor wouldn't mind if I chose a similar style.
Does anyone have a recommendation for me? I would only consider to modificate the Anglia Ruskin by myself if its super simple and quick, since i have never done this and my thesis deadline is soon...
Thanks a lot!

    These are all the author-date styles using ibid:
    bluebook-inline.csl
    chicago-author-date-basque.csl
    chicago-author-date-fr.csl
    deutsche-sprache.csl
    ethics-book-reviews.csl
    le-tapuscrit-author-date.csl
    osterreichische-zeitschrift-fur-politikwissenschaft.csl
    sozialwissenschaften-heilmann.csl
    university-college-lillebaelt-harvard.csl

    It's not something that's really done in the English-speaking world, so make sure that's actually what your prof/faculty wants you to do.

    Thanks a lot! I didn't knew ibid. was not common in the english speaking world, since I am from Germany.
    I googled it and it seems like some Harvard style guidelines do not use ibid http://www.isa-sociology.org/publ/sociopedia-isa_harvard-style-guidelines.pdf and others do http://www.hup.harvard.edu/resources/authors/pdf/hup-author-guidelines-notes.pdf
    Since I study in Germany I guess it would be good to use it.

    The 2nd style doesn't refer to a "Harvard" style. That's just an example of a footnote style, similar to Chicago Manual, suggested by Harvard University Press -- "Harvard" is a label used for author-date styles, mostly outside of the US (people at Harvard I've talked to have no idea what "Harvard style" refers to, e.g.).

    For a fairly typical German author-date style, Sozialwissenschaften Heilmann is pretty good.

    Well, I think I'll ask my professor first, if he really wants the ibid.
    Heilmann would be perfect if it wouldn't be in German, cause I have to write in English.
    Thanks adamsmith!
