Secondary sources
The instructions on this page are valid for references to secondary sources. Citing a work from a secondary source is generally to be avoided, since you are expected to have read the works you cite. You may only use a secondary source if the original source is not available, e.g. if it is very rare, impossible to get hold of or written in a language you do not understand. When citing a work from a secondary source, the in-text reference should include reference information on both the original work that you want to cite and the secondary source in which you have found it. However, only information about the secondary source appear in the reference list.
