Referencing articles (chapters) in edited books.
When books are collections of articles (chapters) by different authors,
you need to show the author of the article (chapter), its title, the editor
of the book and the book's title. This is the form to follow:
Author of article's surname, Initial/s, Year of publication, Title of
article in single inverted commas, in Editor (Initial/s first), Title of
book (underlined or in italics), Place of publication and publisher, page
number article starts at (and, perhaps, finishes).
For example:
Higginson, G. 1990 'A levels and the future' in G. Parry and Wake
(Editors) Access and Alternative Futures for Higher Education
London: Hodder and Stoughton p.97
Articles in Encyclopedias
One way that is recommended by a number of people is to use the article
name as the
key word
and the date of the encyclopedia as the
key number:
For example:
(Sociology 1911) as an
intext reference would relate to this
bibliography entry:
Sociology 1911 "Sociology" article in LoveToKnow 1911 Online
Encyclopedia (2003, 2004 LoveToKnow) available at
http://28.1911encyclopedia.org/S/SO/SOCIOLOGY.htm
Flinders University gives examples like this
Set out a reference for an anonymously written article in this way:
Vitamin C deficiency 1982
With a corresponding bibliography entry:
Vitamin C deficiency 1982:
"Vitamin C deficiency" article in The New Encyclopedia Britannica,
15th edition (1982), vol. 10, p. 469.
Or, if you can identify the article author, a reference like this:
Cole & Cole 1963 p.-
With a corresponding bibliography entry:
Cole, J. O. & Cole, K. G. 1963, 'Psychopharmacology' in the
Encyclopedia of Mental Health, vol. 5, pp. 1654-1663.
