When citing a chapter from an edited book, you include both the chapter author(s) and the editor(s) of the entire book, along with the book title. The chapter author is listed first for the specific work cited. The editor names follow the book title, preceded by "In" and the abbreviation "Ed." for a single editor or "Eds." for multiple editors. The book title itself should be italicized. Include all standard publication details (publisher, year) following the book title and editors. Specific format details (punctuation, order) vary by citation style (e.g., APA, Chicago, MLA), so consistent adherence to the chosen style guide is essential. To implement this, list the chapter author first. Then write "In" followed by the book editor(s) initials and surname(s), with "Ed." or "Eds." immediately after the editor name(s). Next, include the italicized book title. Finally, provide the place of publication, publisher name, and year within parentheses. The format is: Chapter Author. Year. "Chapter Title." In *Book Title*, edited by Editor Initials Editor Surname, page range. Place: Publisher.
