For example, instead of saying "The data, as cited from Smith (2020), shows...", say "The data, as cited in Smith (2020), shows..." or "The data, as cited by Smith (2020), shows...".
Common error
Avoid using "from" after "cited". This is a common error. Always double-check the preposition when attributing information to a source.
