Glossary entry (derived from question below)
English term
op. cit.
This appears in footnotes and I guess "cit" perhaps means "cited (by Sandler)," but I can't figure out what "op." means.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

In the following link, notes to the main text of some paper or book are found. It seems that the author clearly distinguish how to use ¥"op. cit.¥" and how to use ¥"前掲書¥"; the author uses ¥"op. cit.¥" for non-Japanese references and ¥"前掲書¥" for Japanese references (including translated references). As you see this contrast, ¥"前掲書¥" corresponds to ¥"op. cit.¥":

OPERE CITATO is NOT the same as OPUS CITATUM. OPUS CITATUM is in the nominative and I mentioned it to explain the meaning of the ablative, as word definitions are generally given in the nominative. However, the abbreviation is in the ABLATIVE. In a bibliography, op.cit. is ALWAYS OPERE CITATO, IN the CITED WORK.
