In-Text Citation
Secondary Source
You may want to use information that is cited in an article or book
that you have found. Ideally, you would find the original source. However,
if you cannot, you should cite the source in the text, “as cited
in…”. For example, if you read a paper by Hardcastle (2002),
and in that paper he refers to an article by Rathbun (2001) you would
cite this as follows:
Example
Rathbun (as cited in Hardcastle, 2002) recommends teaching academic
skills intensively before students enter their areas of concentration.
In the reference list, you would include a reference for Hardcastle
(2002), but not for Rathbun because that is the source that you read.
