Referencing

AGLC3 frequently asked questions

How do I cite a source appearing within another source?

Where possible, the original source should be referred to and cited, but if it is important to acknowledge both sources together, then according to AGLC3 rule 1.3, use a clause - quoting, quoted in, citing, cited in - to link both references.

Example:
