Say I wanted to quote from a journal which in turn is quoting from someplace else. Which do I reference? How do I format it?
And what goes in the parenthesis for the parenthetical reference?With APA 6th edition, how would I format this?
If you use a source that was cited in another source, name the original source in your signal phrase. List the secondary source in your reference list and include the secondary source in the parentheses.
Johnson argued that...(as cited in Smith, 2003, p. 102).
Note: When citing material in parentheses, set off the citation with a comma, as above. Also, try to locate the original material and cite the original source.
The answer above is taken directly from the Owl at Purdue:

Another site with lots of citation examples:

Don't forget that your local library may offer assistance through a chat service (sometimes available 24/7)
