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. This may be called a secondary source.) For example, the Kirkey article you are reading includes a quotation by Smith that you would like to include in your essay.
The basic rule is that in both your References list and in-text citation you will still cite Kirkey. Kirkey will appear in your References list - NOT Smith.
You will add the words “as cited in” to your in-text citation.
Examples of in-text citations:
Smith (as cited in Kirkey, 2013) states that “even if euthanasia was legal, 42% of doctors would be against this method of assisted dying” (p. 34).
Example of Reference list citation:
Kirkey, S. (2013, Feb 9). Euthanasia.The Montreal Gazette, p. A10.
