Copyright and Trademark Questions

Found this:

LibGuides: Chicago Style Guide, for 17th Edition: Ibid.

I think, in part, this depends a bit on who you expect the audience to be. If its for academia, you need to cite a lot. If its not, I suspect you can take more liberties. If your just trying to avoid getting sued, I am not sure it even has to be formal.

 

Perfecto.

 

Question on citing. Say I have the next 3 quotes that all come from the same source. Can I give a citation for the first use but not the next two and keep that pattern of citation. Then explain in the back of the book that contains the sources that I used this method. Or must I use Ibid each time?

 

The format would be like:

"Some quote" (TOLKIEN, J. R. R. (2020). Fellowship of the ring. HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS.)

"Some quote 2" (Tolkien, 2020)

"Some quote 3" (Tolkien, 2020)


Maybe you could try quoting it in the format Wikipedia uses.

"Some quote" [1]
"Some quote 2" [2]
"some quote 3" [3]


[1], [2], [3] TOLKIEN, J. R. R. (2020). Fellowship of the ring. HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS.


Again, unless this is a academic work, I'd not sweat so much dotting all the T's and crossing the I's.

 

Ya know....

If you quote it at all, I doubt you will be before a judge explaining your copyright infringement because you did not use Chicago style correctly. Your college professor might not like that the style is wrong, but If its not for academia, a style like wiki ought to be sufficient.
