• Chapter titles should appear unitalicised in single quotation marks (AGLC4 rule 6.6.1)
• Provide the starting page number for the chapter (AGLC4 rule 6.6.1)
• If citing multiple chapters from an edited book include the full citation details in the first reference to each chapter (AGLC4 rule 6.6.1)
• Use the names of the authors of the particular chapter for subsequent references (AGLC4 rule 6.6.1)

Sometimes books may have both author(s) and editor(s), both need to be included in the citation. The abbreviation 'ed' should be used regardless of how many editors there are, in this context 'ed' stands for 'edited by'.
