Citing information from a research paper that is itself cited within the paper
Can anyone provide any advice about making citations from a paper when the information is itself cited by the author (or authors) within that paper?
eg. It is generally accepted that forest regeneration techniques must be tailor to local abiotic and environmental conditions (Pace 2002; Gooding 1998; Tyler 2003).
Would it be appropriate to cite the author of the paper you're reading, or to cite the author (or authors) that THAT author is citing within his or her paper (ie. Pace Gooding and Tyler). This has always caused me confusuion and I thought I'd see if anyone had some feedback on the rules governing this common scenerio.
Thhak you.
