GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:bei (Literaturverweis)

German term or phrase: bei (Literaturverweis)
Die Spektren stimmen in allen Bereichen mit Literaturspektren [255] überein.
Eine detaillierte IR-spektroskopische Charakterisierung nichtionischer Detergentien kann ***bei*** Nadeau [244] nachgelesen werden.
Dort sind weitere Schwingungen des Fingerprintbereiches aufgeführt.
***Bei*** Longman und Walz et al. [242,245] wird ebenfalls die Anwendung der IR-Methodik zur Analyse von entsprechenden Emulgatoren diskutiert.

Es handelt sich hierbei offenbar um einen Verweis auf Sekundärliteratur, aber wie formuliert man das im Englischen (im Rahmen einer These)?

Though in the second sentence, it would be better to use an active rather than a passive construction, and say "Longman, Walz et al discuss".

Explanation:
See example below:

"Utopian literature, read with Freud, is funded by fantasies that surface from the inaccessible nature of the unconscious and its expository of inexpressible longings."

  -> Correct. This would work for different uses of 'bei' but not here.
