The information required for chapters in edited volumes includes the following (in this precise order):
author’s last name + COMMA + SPACE
capital initial of author’s first name + FULL STOP + SPACE
year of publication + FULL STOP + SPACE
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
‘In’
capital initial of editor’s first name + FULL STOP + SPACE
editor’s last name + SPACE h. ‘(ed.)’ + SPACE
Title of Edited Volume (in italics, with capital initials for content words) + FULL STOP
place of publication + COLON + SPACE
publisher + FULL STOP
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).
