Reprinted In

A citation element pointing readers from an original publication to the accessible reprint you actually used.

"Reprinted in" links two publication facts: where a text first appeared, and where the version in your hands appeared. The pattern is original citation, then the phrase, then the reprint citation with its own page numbers.

It matters because pagination changes between printings. A quotation on page 12 of a 1948 journal article may fall on page 340 of a 1993 anthology, and a reader given only one set of numbers cannot find the line in the other.

It is distinct from "as quoted in". "Reprinted in" means you read the full text in the later source; "as quoted in" means you saw only an excerpt someone else selected. Substituting one for the other overstates what you actually consulted.

Common mistake: dropping the original date. Readers use the first publication year to place an argument in its historical moment; a 1948 essay cited only by its 1993 reprint date reads as thirty-five years younger than it is.

Example
Journal of Philosophy 45 (1948): 5-22; reprinted in Collected Papers (1993), 330-48.
