Notes

If a chapter author is also an editor, the name is repeated in both roles.

If a URL with DOI is available from the source or its location, use that in preference to either an ordinary URL or a format or platform.

Examples of a platform, commercial format or database might include a commercial format such as Kindle, or a Library subscription database platform such as ProQuest.

Insert 'ed.' (or 'eds.' if there is more than one editor) after the editor's/editors' name/s in the reference list only. See more in the 'Author as editor' section in the button at the bottom of this page.

Edition information: leave out edition information for first editions.

Editor names are formatted with initial or personal name first, then surname.

In line with Chicago Manual of Style (18th edition), it is no longer necessary to include a page range for the chapter.
