How do you note "as cited in" and maintain the link to the bibliography?

jverstreken · June 7, 2024

I can't seem to find info already in the discussions about how to insert an in-text citation that uses "as cited in". (see example below) I have inserted the citation but separately from the preceeding citation and free-texted "as cited in" as a place holder while I find a solution. Any advice would be appreciated. The highlighted areas should say:

(Lundberg, 2008 as cited in Hecimovich & Volet, 2011)

though I'll point out that many citation manuals -- e.g. Chicago Manual, see section 15.56, APA see here, don't just frown upon the practice, but are very clear that where you must use secondary citation, only the secondary work (i.e. the one you've consulted) should be included in the reference list. In other words, you should use "Lundberg, 2008 as cited in" as a prefix to the Hecimovich & Volet, 2011 citation so that it's not included in the reference list .

(But again: the Lundberg 2008 you presumably mean is available open access online: https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?params=/context/facpub/article/6124/&path_info=Promoting_Self_confidence_in_Clinical_Nursing.14.pdf you have no reason to use indirect citation to it)
