APA Style: Handling Quotations, Citations, and References

•

Journal article, more than one author

Give the secondary source in the references list; in the text, name the original work, and give a citation for the

secondary source. For example, if Seidenberg and McClelland's work is cited in Coltheart et al. and you did not

read the original work, list the Coltheart et al. reference in the References. In the text, use the following citation:

Seidenberg and McClelland's study (as cited in Coltheart, Curtis, Atkins, & Haller, 1993)
