APA Style (7th ed.)
If the text you want to quote provides a citation to the original source of the information, please include the embedded citation in your quotation, but do not create a reference entry for the quoted citation in the reference list (American Psychological Association, 2020, p. 276). Please see below for an example from page 276 in the APA manual in which the citation to Stanislavski is the quoted citation:
Actors "are encouraged to become immersed in a character's life (Stanislavski, 1936/1948, 1950), an activity that calls for absorption" (Panero et. al., 2016, p. 234).
Using that example, Panero et al.'s (2016) work would be included in the references, but Stanislavski's (1936/1948, 1950) work would not, unless it was cited directly elsewhere in the document as a primary source.
