Citing Primary Sources Referenced in the Handbook

Best Practice: Cite the Original Source

When the handbook discusses or summarizes research from other sources (journal articles, reports, datasets), cite the original source rather than citing the handbook as a secondary reference.

Why?

  • Gives proper credit to the original researchers
  • Provides readers with the primary source for verification
  • Maintains academic integrity and rigor
  • Follows scholarly citation standards

Example

Too indirect: > According to Tegomoh (2025), MYCIN performed strongly in a controlled clinical evaluation.

Preferred: > In a blinded evaluation of antimicrobial regimens for ten meningitis cases, experts rated 65% of MYCIN’s regimens acceptable, compared with 42.5%–62.5% for five faculty specialists (Yu et al., 1979).

The handbook links studies, regulator records, guidelines, and policies in the sentence they support. The connected primary source should be checked before reuse, including its author, venue, DOI or official record, design, population, and endpoint.
