Last name of the author, comma, abbreviated form “vol" (ج) for volume number [if the work has multiple volumes], letter "p" (ص), page number. Example: (Zarrinkoub, vol. 2, p. 200);
- In in-text references, if the exact same previous source (i.e. the same author but on a different page) is referenced (i.e., no new source is mentioned between the two references), the word "ibid" (همان) is used instead of repeating the name of that source; For instance, in the example of Zarrinkoub, as follows: (ibid., p. 49); Even if the exact same page from the same source is referred to, it is sufficient to mention the word "ibidem" (همانجا) inside two brackets: (ibidem);
