How do I cite something that is cited in my source? (indirect/secondary sources)
Answer
You can cite something that is cited by a source you have. You will only mention the cited source in text along with information about the source you have. When it comes to the works cited, bibliography or references section, you will only cite the source you have.
However, all citation styles recommend that you seek out the original source to ensure that you are reporting information from the original source accurately. You can work with a librarian to find the original source. If it can't be found or acquired in a timely manner, use the links below to find guidance on how to do this in a specific style.
