- Citation rules:
- According to the Publication manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.), cite this source as a book chapter in a nonperiodical source (APA, 2009, rules 24-25, p. 204).
- According to the Bedford handbook, this is identified as “Article or Chapter in an Edited Book” (see Bedford handbook online, http://www.dianahacker.com/resdoc/p04_c09_s2.html, number 17).
- Tip: Items in this reference book have no identifiable authors. Insert the title of each item in place of the author(s), then follow with date in parenthesis (APA, 2009, p. 203).
- Tip: A reference like this one can be confusing because each title is the name of the psychologist. Furthermore, each title begins with the first name of the psychologist. Enter the title as it appears in the book.
- Tip: The name of the database is used in the example above for the following reason:
According to Steve Cramer (U. of North Carolina, Greensboro): - "The [2007] APA Style Guide to Electronic References
- [incorporated into the APA 6th ed.] states, 'With the exception of hard-to-find
- books and other documents of limited circulation delivered by electronic
- databases, the database name is no longer a necessary element of the
- reference. If you do include the database name in a reference, do not include the
- database URL' (p. 2)."
We choose to use the name of the database when no DOI (Digital Object Identifier) is provided with a document.
