Many of the textbooks in our collection credit an editor or editors for the entire work and have separate authors for each chapter. You must cite and reference every chapter that you use in your paper separately, unless you are referring generally to the entire work. Remember, you must list the authors and editors in the order that they appear on the title page.

1. Chapter author(s) last name(s) and year of publication placed in brackets at the end of a paraphrased sentence. Connect final two names with '&'. Note: If you are paraphrasing from a lengthy document, also include page, paragraph or heading info. |
Consider this a paraphrased sentence (Chapin, 2012). |

2. Sentence beginning with chapter author(s) last name(s) followed immediately by date in brackets; page # in brackets at the end of the quote. Connect final two names with 'and'. |
According to Chapin (2012), "consider this a direct quote" (p. 224). |
