REFERENCING USING OSCOLASection 4

Chapters in Edited Books

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO INCLUDE?

Firstly, you’ll need to include the information about the specific chapter: the author and the title of the chapter

Then the information about the book in which it is to be found

That way, you are acknowledging who wrote it (the author of the chapter), and also giving the information needed to find the book (by including the information about the editor and title of the book)

Give the author of the chapter, followed by a comma,

Then the title of the chapter in single quotation marks,

Then the details of the book in the normal format

INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHAPTER FIRST, THEN THE BOOK
