Description: A single chapter or section in an electronic edited book

Notes

• Do not cite a chapter or section in a book when that book is entirely written by one author or set of authors: instead, cite as a whole book. However, if the chapter has its own separate author (i.e. like a chapter in an edited book), cite the chapter and chapter author .
• Page numbers are not always available in electronic books. Include them where available; when normal pagination is not present, cite chapter numbers or similar in-text.
