Kubilius (2004) highlights the importance of this by stating “the primary factor in determining e-commerce user loyalty, according to Anders, is having a web site that is ‘user friendly and easy to navigate.’ ”

Just to make sure you could find the book/reference from Anders and put a date in or something, but i think if you mention his name it'll be ok.
Dont take my word for it though!!! If you're unsure ask ur teacher
with bibliography including both as full references

That should answer any question you have regarding the reference system. I've written my fair share of reports.:)
:shocking: Anglia Ruskin Uni! Thats my uni! Oh yea we rule :thumb:
Or haven't you got access to that?
Well if you have read Anders and taken your ideas and such from that, but he quotes Kubilus, there's no point reading all of Kubilus just to reference the one point when the essay is based on Anders. If that makes sense? In some cases it's fair enough but a lot of the time there is no need to read a whole other article or book just because what you're reading has a reference to them.
errr.... I quite disagree. There is a need to read it, although you usually won't need to read a whole book. That's what references are for. Not doing so makes you look lazy.
If you have all the information, it'll form your references for you.
Cheers to everyone who has replied.
The Anders quote in question is from a newspaper article that hasn't been archived online, so it would be quite difficult to track the original source down.
