6.2 ESSAYS AND CHAPTERS IN EDITED BOOKS

6.2.1 General form

Cite essays in edited books and texts where each chapter has an identified author in accordance with this rule where a specific chapter or part of the text is being referred to.

The format is essentially the same as for referencing texts, but includes the author of the essay or chapter, followed by the title of the essay or chapter in double quotation marks, before the citation of the text. Give the page on which the essay or chapter begins after the citation to the text.

The general form is therefore as follows:

Element

Author

Title of essay followed by “in”

Citation of text

Page on which the essay begins

Pinpoint reference
