an even more challenging option, that might need some extra hooks, is the "ibid" option:

an article is cited in a footnote.
the macro looks if this article is already cited before.
if so it looks if this is exactly the same article as cited directly before.
and it makes sure that it is not the first cite on the current page (resp. spread).

if all these are true, the \cite command gives an "Ibid." instead of the full cite.


as this is provided for latex users by Philipp Lehman with his biblatex package, it is considered to be kind of standard by some publisher today.
