Key: [R] References  [T]  In-text

Secondary sources are sources that you did not actually view but are cited in a work you did view.

For example, if you are referring to a study by Seidenberg and McClelland that is cited in an article by Coltheart, Curtin, Atkins & Haller, name the original work in-text and also cite the secondary source you have seen, then include the secondary source only in the list of references.

Note the use of "as cited in" in the in-text reference.
