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. The work that is mentioned in the article you are reading is called the primary (or original) source. The article you are reading is called the secondary source.
For example, the book by Sorensen and van Dyk that you are reading includes a quotation by Joseph, which you would like to include in your essay. The basic rule is that in both your Works Cited list and in-text citation you will still cite Sorensen and van Dyk. Joseph does not appear in your Works Cited list. For the in-text citation you cite Sorensen and van Dyk and add the words “qtd. in” at the beginning of your in-text citation.
Examples of in-text citations:
Joseph advises non-Indigenous businesses to prioritize the cultural needs of the Indigenous groups with whom they work (qtd. in Sorensen and van Dyk 54).
Joseph states that, when working with an Indigenous group, “Remember that you and your organization are in many cases doing business with a culture, not with another business” (qtd. in Sorensen and van Dyk 54).
Example of Works Cited citation:
