Loc. cit.

Loc. cit.

"Loc. cit." (Latin, short for "loco citato", meaning "in the place cited") is a footnote or endnote term used to repeat the title and page number for a given author. "Loc. cit." is used in place of ibid. when the reference is not only to the work immediately preceding, but also refers to the same page. "Loc. cit." is also used instead of "op. cit." when reference is made to a work previously cited and to the same page in that work. As such, "loc. cit." is never followed by volume or page numbers.
