Chapters and other titled parts of a book
Notes-bibliography style: citing specific types of sources
Part II. Source Citation

In most cases, you should cite the main title of any book that offers a single, continuous argument or narrative, even if you actually use only a section of it. But if you consult only one part of a book that collects independent pieces on several topics, written by one or several authors, you may cite just the one chapter or part most relevant to your research. By doing so, you help readers see how the source fits into your project.

PARTS OF SINGLE-AUTHOR BOOKS. If you cite a titled part of a single-author book, include the title of the part first, in roman type and enclosed in quotation marks. After the designation in, give the book title. In a bibliography entry, include the full span of page numbers for that part following the book title; in a note, give the page number(s) for a specific reference as you would for any other quotation.

N: 1. John Charles Chasteen, “Neocolonialism,” in Born in Blood and Fire: A Concise History of Latin America (New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 2001), 190—91.

B: Chasteen, John Charles. “Neocolonialism.” In Born in Blood and Fire: A Concise History of Latin America, 179—206. New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 2001.

If you cite a part with a generic title such as introduction, preface, or afterword, add that term before the title of the book. List the generic title in roman type without quotation marks, and capitalize the first word only in a bibliography entry. If the part is written by someone other than the main author of the book, give the part author's name first and the book author's name after the title.

PARTS OF EDITED COLLECTIONS. If you cite part of an edited collection with contributions by multiple authors, list the part author and title (in roman type, enclosed in quotation marks) first. After the designation in, give the book title and the name of the editor. In a bibliography entry, include the full span of page numbers for that part following the book title; in a note, give the page number(s) for a specific reference as you would for any other quotation.

N: 3. Anne Carr and Douglas J. Schuurman, “Religion and Feminism: A Reformist Christian Analysis,” in Religion, Feminism, and the Family, ed. Anne Carr and Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen (Louisville, KY: Westminster John Knox Press, 1996), 13—14.

If you cite two or more contributions to the same edited collection, you may treat them as separate sources, or you may use a space-saving shortened form like that discussed in 16.4.1. The first time you cite any part from the book in a note, give full bibliographical information about both the part and the book as a whole. Thereafter, if you cite another part from the book, provide the full author's name and title of the part, but give the information about the book in shortened form. Subsequent notes for individual parts follow the usual shortened note form.

N: 4. William H. Keating, “Fort Dearborn and Chicago,” in Prairie State: Impressions of Illinois, 1673—1967, by Travelers and Other Observers, ed. Paul M. Angle (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1967), 84.

12. Sara Clarke Lippincott, “Chicago,” in Angle, 362.

Keating, 85.

Lippincott, 365.

In your bibliography, provide a full citation for the whole book and a variation on the shortened note form for individual parts.

WORKS IN ANTHOLOGIES. Cite a short story, poem, essay, or other work published in an anthology in the same way you would a contribution to an edited collection with multiple authors. Give the titles of most works published in anthologies in roman type, enclosed in quotation marks. An exception is the title of an excerpt from a book-length poem or prose work, which should be italicized (see 22.3.2).

N: 2. Isabel Allende, “The Spirits Were Willing,” in The Oxford Book of Latin American Essays, ed. Ilan Stavans (New York: Oxford University Press, 1997), 463—64.

If the original publication date of a work is important in the context of your paper, include it after the title of the work and before the title of the anthology in both your notes and your bibliography.
