Chapter of Edited Books

If you are using a screen reader to view this page, please be aware that the templates and examples contain important punctuation and formatting, such as commas, full stops, uppercase text and italics, that are a vital part of referencing. You may need to change the punctuation settings and other settings on your screen reader software in order to correctly hear this information. It may work best to turn on an indication for capital letters and to navigate the templates one character at a time to ensure that all punctuation and capital letters are announced correctly. If you have any problems with this, please contact the library.

Electronic Books

You can copy this URL to share a direct link to this referencing template:

If an ebook has all the same details as a print book, including publication information and page numbers, then the reference is no different to a print book. This will be the case for the majority of ebooks and there is no requirement to include the URL. Select the appropriate template from the options on this page.

On some e-readers or personal devices, the standard pagination may not be available, so you can use the platform location indicators in the citation if quoting - e.g. percentage in place of the page number.
