Op. cit. (Latin, short for "opus citatum"/"opere citato", meaning "the work cited/from the cited work") is the term used to provide an endnote or footnote citation to refer the reader to an earlier citation by the same author. To find the Op. cit. source, one has to look at the previous footnotes or general references section to find the relevant source work.
Contrast: Ibid, referring to the last cited source, and supra, meaning cited (with details of the source) above. Also loc. cit. ("in the place cited"), now rarely used.

Example
- 9. R. Millan, Art of Latin Grammar (Academic: New York, 1997), p. 23.
- 10. G. Wiki, Language and Its Uses (Blah Ltd.: Old York, 2000), p. 17.
- 11. Millan, op. cit., p. 5.
The reference no. 11 refers to the last cited work by the author R. Millan, and hence, it is the same as in no 9. (R. Millan, Art of Latin Grammar), although the page is different.
