  1. Lists of references

Chapters in edited volumes

PreviousEdited volumesNextScholarly journal articles

Last updated 2 years ago

The information required for chapters in edited volumes includes the following (in this precise order):

  1. author’s last name + COMMA + SPACE

  2. capital initial of author’s first name + FULL STOP + SPACE

  3. year of publication + FULL STOP + SPACE

  4. OPENING SINGLE QUOTATION MARK + title of chapter (except for the first word of the title, all in lower case) + CLOSING SINGLE QUOTATION MARK + FULL STOP

  5. ‘In’

  6. capital initial of editor’s first name + FULL STOP + SPACE

  7. editor’s last name + SPACE h. ‘(ed.)’ + SPACE

  8. Title of Edited Volume (in italics, with capital initials for content words) + FULL STOP

  9. place of publication + COLON + SPACE

  10. publisher + FULL STOP

  11. start page + HYPHEN + end page + FULL STOP

Regarding point 2 - it is acceptable to use the author’s first name rather than an initial but the choice (name vs. initial) must be consistent throughout the list of references.

The same rules for multiple authorship apply as for monographs, and ‘(ed.)’ changes to ‘(eds)’ (without full stop).
