Style notes for edited books

  • Chapter titles should appear within single quotation marks and should not be italicised, see AGLC4 Rule 6.6.1. The title of the book is italicised.
  • Reverse the first name and surname order in the bibliography for the first named author only.
  • Where there are multiple editors, 'eds' should be used, see AGLC4 Rule 4.1.3. Where there are more than three editors, use the first editor’s name followed by ‘et al’.
  • Where there are multiple editions of a book and an edition number appears in the book being cited, the edition number should be included after the publisher's name, see AGLC4 Rule 6.3.2.
  • eBooks are cited in the same way as print books.
  • For subsequent references: use the name of the chapter author and refer to the footnote in which the chapter is first cited, see AGLC4 Rule 6.6.1.
