Quotations within a quotation

aaar69
how do I indicate a quotation within a quotation in zotero. For example, if you read Chan's book (published in 2002) and wanted to quote or paraphrase Chan's quotation of Nguyen (who published her work in 1999), your in-text citation will look like this:


"Quote" (Nguyen, 1999, as cited in Chan, 2002, p. 487)

I have no idea how to do as same as shown in the example above. could anyone please help me in this issue.

Thanks

    There are two ways you could do this depending on how you want the bibliography to look.

    If you just want Chan (not Nguyen) to appear in the reference list, then just insert a citation to to Chan and add "Nguyen, 1999, as cited in" as a prefix.

    If you want both in the bibliography, then insert a citation and include both references, drag the Nguyen reference to appear before the Chan reference, and add "as cited in" as a prefix to Chan.
