How to quote multiple chapters from the same source?
To cite multiple chapters from a single source, provide one comprehensive entry for the entire source in the reference list, citing the editors or overall authors and the book details. Then, reference each specific chapter separately within your text and ensure its details are included in the source entry.
When citing each chapter in-text, include the author(s) of the chapter, the publication year of the source, and the relevant chapter title or page numbers. The full source entry must list all editors (if an edited book), the book title, edition, publisher, and year. Crucially, each distinct chapter must be clearly identified within this single entry; include the chapter author(s), chapter title, page range, and the phrase "In" followed by the editor(s) names and full book details. Consistent application of a recognized citation style (APA, Chicago, MLA) is mandatory throughout.
Implement this by first creating the complete bibliography entry. For subsequent in-text citations referencing a specific chapter, use the chapter author's surname and the source year. Ensure the full reference explicitly lists each chapter author and title alongside the overarching book information, preventing reader confusion and maintaining academic integrity by precisely acknowledging each contribution.
