Cite/Citation/Citer.

Hello! I run into this while doing research for the final project,the thing is suppose you want to cite some report which was cited by the article you are reading/researching,ie. you want to cite a report which was cited from other article, will you attribute/credit the citation to the report you cited from, or from the original report which was cited by the citer?complicated,huh?.Maybe i need to be more clear on this.

Hey, Abdi, here's how you do it. By the way, what you're referring to is known as an "indirect source."

To do this in APA, go here:

and look at #12. To do it in MLA format, see this (but you're not using MLA, are you?):
