I am writing a feasibility study and referencing prior works. Within my document I repeat the same quote and my wife thinks that I should be using "ibid". I have researched the use of "ibid" on the web and found contradictory info. I have 2 questions. 1. As the reader goes through the document, should the citation numbering flow sequentially 1,2,3,4,5,.......even though I reuse the same quotation or statement twice? 2. When using the quote the second time -should I renumber it so it flows sequentially as above or should I use the previous # .. i.e. 1,2,3,4,5,6,2,7,8,9.....
