Explanation: It is the shortest phrase that adequately translates the meaning
The key word here is 'primary' See the definition of 'primary source' (+ a link therein to an article about 'secondary source') in Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_source The shortest definition of 'primary' and 'secondary' sources can be found in the first reference (the "Primary sources vs. Secondary sources" section): "Primary sources are those that originally reported findings or provided definitions you found in a different source (another article or textbook). In this case, this other article or textbook is a secondary source"
The first example is borrowed from Harvard Reference Style (second reference), page 4
The word 'list' in [brackets] may be omitted, as in the second example (taken from the "Talk:Louis X of France" Wiki page)
the publication [10] itself took those figures and formula from other sources included in the list of references. The article I'm translating cites [10], rather than the source publications.
