I want to cite a refrence in a primary source that is already a citation from a secondary source. As far as I know, I have to refer to both the citing author and the original author of the quote.
The quote is as follows:
"[...] a change made to the internal structure of software to make it easier to understand and cheaper to modify without changing its observable behavior."
I read it in Kerievsky, Refactoring to Patterns, 2005. It was originally written by Fowler in Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code, 1999.
Citing in text, I would write something like this:
Refactoring is "..." [Fowler 1999 cited by Kerievsky 2005].
Here is a minimal working example, which just places both references in brackets:
\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{natbib}
\begin{document}
According to Martin Fowler, refactoring is ``a change made to the internal
structure of software to make it easier to understand and cheaper to modify
without changing its observable behavior''~\cite{Fow:1999,Ker:2005}.
\bibliographystyle{unsrt}
\bibliography{references}
\end{document}
Using BibTeX, this is not so straight forward anymore. I use numbers for citations and print the bibliography in the appendix. What would be a best practice solution for citing citations with BibTeX?
natbib
? Because then you might be able to get by using\citealt
and\citetext
. BTW: next time please include a minimal example, such we we now such things from the start. Makes it a lot easier to help.natbib
. If it helps, I can edit my question and add a minimal working example.natbib
