 Confused about how to reference a chapter in an edited book? The author of a book is the person who wrote the content of the whole book. Sometimes, however, an editor or editors will bring several other authors together to each write a chapter, which are then published as an edited book. Here's the name of the editor on the front cover. In the table of contents, we can see each chapter and its authors. This means we need to cite the chapter author rather than the whole book. When citing in text, acknowledge the author, not the editor. So how do we create a reference for a chapter in an edited book? We need the author, Heil, the year 2019, the title of the chapter, Well-Being and Wellness, then the editor and the title of the book, Second Opinion. For the editor, we swap the initial and surname so that the initial comes first, followed by the surname and ED in brackets. Add any addition details and page numbers for the chapter.
