When creating a reference or in-text citation, you must list the editors in the order that they appear on the title page. The same rules for recording 1, 2, or 3+ authors apply to editors.
There are different ways to format an in-text citation, depending on your writing style and sentence structure. Formatting examples are outlined below:
| Reference Information |
Tart, Charles T., editor. Altered States of Consciousness: a Book of Readings. Wiley, 1969. |
| In-text Citation Guidelines |
Examples |
|
Include the editor's last name and page number placed in brackets at the end of a sentence. |
Consider this a paraphrased sentence (Tart, 319). |
|
Include the editor's last name as part of the sentence; include the page number in brackets. |
According to Tart, "consider this a direct quote" (319). |
Remember, in-text citation formatting may change depending on a number of factors.
