Sometimes an author of a book, article or website will mention another person’s work by using a quotation or paraphrased idea from that source. The work that is mentioned in the article you are reading is called the primary source. The article you are reading is called the secondary source.
For example, suppose you are reading a book by Ann Blake (2022), which includes a quotation from Bob Jones (2019), and you decide that you would like to include this quotation in your essay.
For the reeference list, you will only make a citation for the secondary source (Blake, 2022). You do not put in a citation for the primary source (Jones, 2019) inn the reference list. For the in-text citation, you identify the primary source (Joseph, 2019) and then write "as cited in" the secondary source (Blake, 2022). If you know the year of the publication of the primary source, include it in the in-text citation. Otherwise, you can omit it. See below for examples.
Examples of in-text citations:
Jones (2019, as cited in Blake, 2022) advises non-Indigenous businesses to prioritize the cultural perspectives of the Indigenous groups with whom they work.
Note: If you don't have the publication date of Snow's article, you just omit it like this:
Jones (as cited in and van Blake, 2022) advises non-Indigenous businesses to prioritize the cultural perspectives of the Indigenous groups with whom they work.
Non-Indigenous businesses should prioritize the cultural perspectives of the Indigenous groups with whom they work (Jones, 2019, as cited in Blake, 2022).
Jones (2019, as cited in Blake, 2022) states that, when working with an Indigenous group, “Remember that you and your organization are in many cases doing business with a culture, not with another business” (p. 54).
