The initials of the editor of the book precede the family name. (This differs to the placement of the initials of the author of the chapter, which are placed after the family name, allowing for correct alphabetical ordering of the reference list).
There is no comma or full stop between the author of the chapter and year of publication.
Provide both the title of the book and the title of the chapter.
Book titles are italicized.
Chapter titles are not italicized and are placed within single quotation marks ' '.
Give inclusive page numbers for the chapter in the reference list.
Minimal capitalization of the titles is recommended. Capitalize only the first word and any proper nouns.
