Citation abbr (4)

I think it could be either:

ibid

etal

(Other definitions for ibid that I've seen before include "'In the same place as previously mentioned, in short (4)'" , "In brief, notation meaning in came book or passage" , "(When citing a reference) in the same place (abbr)" , "(When citing a reference) in the same place (Latin)" , "(With written references) in the same place (Latin)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Chronicle of Higher Education, the Ink Well xwords, the Universal, The Wall Street Journal, the USA Today, the LA Times, The Washington Post, The New York Times and The Washington Post Sunday.
