Hi everyone, not sure if this is the right place for this thread, but I'm doing an english report on academic literature(??)
Using Apa format, how does one paraphrase an author who cites multiple sources? Essentially, i'm not sure how to go about paraphrasing multiple indirect sources at once
Let's say this an example passage that I want to paraphrase and it's written by Durham:
Blah random blah blah blubbery blah (Wilson, Law, and Graham 1982; Rawlings and Davies 1981; Bigner and Hall 1980).
Would I write it as the following:
As mentioned by Wilson, Law, and Graham(1982); Rawlings and Davies (1981); and Bigner and Hall (1980), blah blah blah blah blah (as cited in Durham,1982,p.211)
Edit: Also, how would I do the parenthetical citation if I quoted say, Durham's paraphrasing on (Wilson, Law, and Graham 1982; Rawlings and Davies 1981; Bigner and Hall 1980)
And what if I wanted to do the parenthetical citation if Durham directly quoted (Wilson, Law, and Graham 1982) and I wanted to use that same quote?
Thanks!
