sorry to bore you with this on a saturday afternoon, however..... I've quoted something from a research paper (call it paper 1) that had a quote (from paper 2) as part of the bit i've taken.
Now do i just reference the research paper I've taken it from (paper 1) or do i reference the source of the quote as well (paper 2)?? Its a bit confusing, I've been wondering about it for a while.....
Cheers!

Depends where the context lies. I'd reference Paper 1, as if the person reading your report looks at this, they will see the original reference, so the flow of information can be followed that way.
If you reference Paper 2 directly, it breaks the thread, makes it look like you went to the original source rather than getting it from Paper 1.
That make sense?

thats what I was thinking.... paper 2 is in paper 1's references, so that covers it I'd have thought. Cheers ash, just needed another opinion, this harvard referencing is the biggest ball ache since mumps....
