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.

Reference List (arranged numercially by the citation order in the text)

7. Nezi R. After the crisis: EU issue voting in Greece. In: Costo Lobo M, editor. The impact of EU politicisation on voting behaviour in Europe. Cham (Switzerland): Springer; 2023. p. 231-250.

Notes

Chapters with more than one author or books with more than one editor

The same author rules should be used as for Authored books. e.g. if you have a chapter with 2-6 authors then check the template for Authored books with 2-6 authors. The same applies to editors. The only difference is that the plural editors is required after the names rather than the singular editor. A full template set will be provided at a later date for chapters of edited books.

Bibliography

If you have used an item for information but not directly referred to it in your assignment then it should be included in a separate Bibliography after the Reference List. The format of the Bibliography entry is exactly the same as the Reference List with the omission of the citation number. The Bibliography is arranged alphabetically by author surname.
