How do I cite a source within my webtext?
How do I cite a source within another source? I found a source within another article that I'm reading. How do I cite that source?
Answer
SWS does not have additional rules for citing a source within a source. Cite these sources using the same rules as other sources.
SWS always asks for a source list entry to provide enough information that your reader can reasonably find the same source.
Our Strayer textbooks, sometimes called webtexts, may include article reprints or excerpts. Here are three possible source list entries for the source in the image below. Remember - there are often multiple correct ways to write a source list entry!
