Final answer:

The term 'contained in' is often used in academic writing to describe a source that is part of a larger work. The 'Title of Container' is part of a citation indicating the larger work. Some sources are self-contained and do not require specification of a container.

Step-by-step explanation:

The term 'contained in' refers to the concept of something being part of or included within something else. In academic writing and citations, we often use the term to describe a source that is part of a larger source, such as an article within a journal or a chapter within a book. The context of how 'contained in' applies can vary based on the discipline and the specifics of what is being discussed or cited.

For example, in the context of a citation, the Title of Container represents the larger work (the container) where a particular piece of information or source (like an article) can be found. It is crucial to identify the container correctly as it provides necessary details for the reader to locate the source. Some sources, however, are self-contained, such as a book or an entire website, and thus they do not have a 'container' that needs to be specified separately.
