How to Reference Edited Books
An edited book is a collection of articles
or chapters- written by different authors- on the same theme, which have been
collected together by one or more persons called “editors”.
At first sight, the role of an editor seems straightforward: take the material
written by the authors and put them together in a book. Although the book is
the outcome of the editor, the editing tasks are more complex that people, who
are not related to the publishing world, may think. In fact, the number and
nature of those tasks usually require more than one person to do the editing
job. You can go for professional Book Editing services from an expert, to
refine & polish your work!
In that sense, there are different taxonomies, which differ in the number and
names of the types of editors needed to publish a book. Generally speaking,
they are: acquisitions editor, project editor, developmental editor,
copyeditor, proofreader, and production editor.
When we cite the names of the editor of a book, we refer to the project editor
who is in charge of the whole editorial process –including keeping the
standards of the publishing company and the communication between the members
of the publishing team.
Now let us have a look at how an edited book should be cited according to
different referencing styles.
