General rules

For referencing a chapter of an edited book in accordance with the requirements of the Harvard citation style, use the following template:

Author(s), (year). Chapter title. In: Editor(s), ed(s). Book title. Edition number. City: Publisher. p(p). page(s).

Note the following aspects:

• Italicise the book title and not the chapter title in the bibliographic reference.
• The names of editors are not inversed: the initials are placed before the last name (see in detail about how to indicate the names of authors in the Harvard citation style here).
• The edition number is only given for editions except first.
• A colon is put after the preposition 'In' that precedes the names of editors.
• The abbreviation 'p. / pp.' before the range of pages is not capitalised.

For a book chapter accessed online, create a bibliographic reference with the following template:

Author(s), (year). Chapter title. In: Editor(s), ed(s). Book title [online]. Edition number. City: Publisher. p(p). page(s). [Viewed date viewed]. Available from: doi: DOI

For a document without a DOI that is available at a URL address, the corresponding element of the reference is modified as follows:

Available from: URL
