Description: A book that is divided into chapters written by different authors

Notes

• Use 'ed.' to indicate the editor of a work. Use 'eds' (with no full stop) for multiple editors.
• When the editor's name is included within your sentence (not in brackets) place ed. in the brackets following their name. When the editor's name is in brackets, put ed. before their name.
• When editors' names are included within your sentence (not in brackets) use the full spelling of 'and'. When their names are in brackets or in the reference list, use '&'. Note the use of 'eds' (no full stop) for multiple editors.
• When there are 4 or more editors, only use the first editor's name in-text followed by the abbreviation et al. (from the Latin for 'and others'). Include all names in the reference list.

Description: A single chapter or section within an edited book

Notes

• Do not cite a chapter or section in a book when that book is entirely written by one author or set of authors: instead, cite as a whole book. However, if the chapter has its own separate author (i.e. like a chapter in an edited book), cite the chapter and chapter author.
• Always cite the author of the chapter as your main author, not the editor of the book.
• In the reference list include the editor's name after the chapter title.
• Note the exception to the order of initials for editors. For book chapters put the editor's initial(s) before their family name rather than after.
