If your text book cites a study do you cite the or book?

When citing a source that is mentioned in another source (such as a textbook), you only need to cite the original source. Therefore, in this case, you should cite the study itself and not the textbook that mentioned it.

Include all the relevant publication details of the study, such as authors, title, journal name, volume, issue, pages etc. and place the relevant details within parenthesis as in-text citation within your written work.. Follow the required referencing style (such as APA, MLA, etc) to format the full reference list entry for the research article when compiling the references.
