Use this format when referencing and citing a chapter from an edited book where the chapters have different authors.
If using more than one chapter from the edited book, treat each chapter as a separate reference and citation.
For a book with no separate chapter authors, reference the whole book. See the relevant format for print books, ebooks or edited books.
