3.12.4 Reference to a Chapter in a Book

When citing a chapter of a book, capitalize as for a journal article title (see 3.9, Titles); do not use quotation marks. Inclusive page numbers of the chapter should be given (see also 3.12.11, Page Numbers or Chapter Number).

  1. 1. Solensky R. Drug allergy: desensitization and treatment of reactions to antibiotics and aspirin. In: Lockey P, ed. Allergens and Allergen Immunotherapy. 3rd ed. New York, NY: Marcel Dekker; 2004:585-606.

  3. 3. Bergeron C, Lowe J. Frontotemporal degeneration: introduction. In: Dickson DW, ed. Neurodegeneration: The Molecular Pathology of Dementia and Movement Disorders. Basel, Switzerland: ISN Neuropath Press; 2003: 342–348.

Note that in example 2 above, 2 of the authors of the chapter are also editors of the book. In cases like this, they are listed in both places: authors of the chapter and editors of the book. The same policy would apply if the authors of a particular chapter and the editors of the book were identical.
