Example: |
(MacDonald, 1997, p. 58) Cite the author of article or chapter in the text Not the Editors of the Book |
MacDonald, G. (1997) 'Innovation diffusion and health education in schools', in: M. Sidell, M. Jones, L. Katz, and A. Peberdy (eds) Debates and dilemmas in promoting health. 2nd edn. London: Open University, pp. 55-88. Note: When referring to a work with editor/s, it is normally the case that each chapter/contribution is attributed to individual author/s. Therefore, it is the author of the chapter that you will be citing in-text. However, in the full reference, you will need to refer to the editor/s as well as the chapter author/s. In the rare event that you may want to cite the whole of an edited book, you would simply reference it as a normal book but would replace author with editor in the in-text citation and put ed.or eds. after the editor/s name/s in the full reference. |
