Sometimes there is a simple sentence in a paper and at the end it is cited by many references like for eg:23-30,33-35 . In this case, 11 references. When I parapharse this sentence and use it in my paper, do I need to write the all 11 ref, or I can just cite the newest? Knowing that it is not a trial . It is just description of known fact as anatomy or physiology of organ.
If it up to me to do it i would cite the paper/book where there are 11 ref cited already, meaning the newest one. If you still have doubts you can cite the newest reference and at the end you can put: (and all the references cited in this paper) or something like that.
Hope I helped
Hello,
According to citation roles and scientific honesty, you should cite the original paper, not those citing it. For example, if you are reading a paper by e.g. Hoseini, and he wrote a general sentence in his paper and gave 11 reference for it, it means that Hoseini read all the 11 paper and then cite them. So, you should find the original paper or citation and cite them. It is very important for general sentences or descriptions. If you are not able to find them, you can cite the in the text prior to this sentence: CITED IN HOSEINI, although, it is not common.
Have a fun
Sometimes the paper itself is new but the references it use are old ( more than five years), and if we used all the references for each sentences, the percentage of old ref will be more
