 === How do you cite a secondary source in Zotero? ===
-See https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/42244/secondary-citation-in-turabian/
+Sometimes, one may wish to cite a secondary source. For example,
+  - British Foreign Office, FO371, FO Minute, 30 March 1943, A3068/4/2. Vol 22507, quoted in Bryce Wood, Dismantling the Good Neighbor Policy, (Austin: University of Texas Press, 1985), 18
+  - (Johnson, 1982, as cited in Smith, 2004)
+In such cases, one should cite the source that was actually consulted for the citation (in the above examples, Wood [1985] and Smith [2004]). Enter the remaining content in the [[/support/word_processor_plugin_usage#customizing_cites|prefix field]] of the Zotero work processor plugin. For example,
+  - British Foreign Office, FO371, FO Minute, 30 March 1943, A3068/4/2. Vol 22507, quoted in
+  - Johnson, 1982, as cited in
+This way, the original sources that were not consulted don't appear in the bibliography, which is generally regarded as good practice.
