Book Chapters

Information

  These examples are for chapters or parts of edited works in which the chapters or parts have an individual title and author/s, but are included in collections or textbooks edited by others.

  If the editors of a work are also the authors of all of the included chapters, then it should be cited as a whole book using the examples given for Books.

 Only the first letter of the first word of the title of the chapter or part is capitalised.

 Enclose the title of the chapter or part in quotation marks and italicise the title of the whole work. Punctuation goes inside the quotation marks.

 Please note that page numbers from EPUB versions of eBooks are not reliable for citation purposes. For accurate referencing, always use the page numbers from the PDF version of the online book, where available. To switch to the PDF version, look for a "Switch to PDF", "Download PDF", "View PDF" or "Print to PDF" option on the eBook platform, typically located near the book's title or in the toolbar.

  Include a DOI if one is available. Place a full stop at the end.

• A URL can also be included if available. No full stop is placed at the end of a URL.
