Secondary source (When an author quotes another author) (Sec. 8.6 APA Publication Manual, p.258)
- APA cautions that you should, whenever possible, take material from the original source. Sometimes, however, only a secondary/indirect source is available.
- When the year of the indirect source is known, include it in the text.
- Only the source you have in hand is the one that goes into your Reference list.
