Citing and

Refferencing Book
with Editors (One or
More Editors)
Cezzane Elleanore B. Uy
Alexa Aira Marie A. Barniego
 According to Dixie State University, If an entire
edited book with authored chapters is cited, the
editor is listed as the author with the abbreviation
"(Ed.)" after his/her name, or "(Eds.)" if there is more
than one editor. Multiple editors are formatted the
same way as authors.
The general format below refers to a book with two
authors.

If you are dealing with two editors instead of two

authors, you would simply insert the names of the
editors into the place where the authors' names are now,
followed by "(Eds.)" without the quotation marks (see
the Example). The rest of the format would remain the
same.
Reference list:
Author Surname, First Initial. Second Initial., & Author
Surname, First Initial. Second Initial. (Year). Book title:
Subtitle. Place of Publication: Publisher
Example:
Burley, J., & Harris, J. (Eds.). (2002). A companion to
genethics. Malden, MA: Blackwell.
Book with Three to Five Authors or Editors (pp. 177, 202)

If you are dealing with a book that has three to five editors
instead of authors, you would simply insert the names of the
editors into the place where the authors' names are now,
followed by "(Eds.)" without the quotation marks (as per the
example). The rest of the format would remain the same.
 Reference list: Author Surname, First Initial.
Second Initial., Author Surname, First Initial.
Second Initial., & Author Surname, First Initial.
Second Initial. (Year). Book title: Subtitle. Place

of Publication: Publisher.

Example:
Johnson, N. G., Roberts, M. C., & Worell, J. (Eds.). (1999).
Beyond appearance: A new look at adolescent girls. Washington,
DC: American Psychological Association.
If you are looking to cite a book with more than five authors or
editors, follow the same format as
three to five authors/editors. The
only difference is with in-text citations. Even in your first in-text
citation, you can shorten to the last name of the first author followed
by et al., and the year. For example: Rodgers, Chung, Hightower,
Collins, Long, Carr, & Thomas (2016) would be (Rodgers et al., 2016)
starting with the first in-text citation.
-List first editor with the last name first, followed by a comme and "
(Ed.)."
Example: Smith, J. D. (Ed.).

-Two editors are separated by a comma after the first author and the
ampersand ( & ) and are followed with a comma and "(Eds.).
Example: Smith, J. D., & Jones, R. L. (Eds.).

-Three to 20 editors are separated with commas and the ampersand ( & )
and are followed with a comma and "(Eds.)."
Example: Smith, John D., Jones, R. L., & Harper, S. G. (Eds.).

 In-Text Citation (first citation):

(Author Surname, Author Surname, & Author Surname,
Year, page number)
Example: (Johnson, Roberts, & Worell, 1999, p. 72)

In-Text Citation (subsequent citations):

(Author Surname et al., Year, page number)
Example: (Johnson et al., 1999, p. 72)

The formatting guidelines below refer to books with three authors. If the
book has four or five authors, you would follow this format and add the
fourth and fifth author's after the third.

General Format:

In-Text Citation (Paraphrase):

(Author's Last Name, Author's Last Name, &
Author's Last Name, year)

In-Text Citation (Direct Quote):

(Author's Last Name, Author's Last Name, & Author's Last Name, year,
page number)
In the first in-text citation, include all of the three to five author's last
names. After the first in-text citation, all subsequent in-text citations
include the first author's last name, et al., and the year. For example:
(Ledlow et al., 2017).

In-text Citation (Direct Quote):

(Ledlow, Manrodt, & Schott, 2017, p. 52)

In-text Citation (Paraphrase):

(Ledlow, Manrodt, & Schott, 2017)
If two or more references of three or more authors/editors and
publication year short to the same in-text citation, cite as many last
names as needed to differentiate them. Example from p.175 of APA
Manual: both Ireys, Chernoff, DeVet, & Kim, 2001 and Ireys, Chernoff,
Stein, DeVet, & Silver, 2001 shorten to (Ireys et al., 2001). Instead, use
Ireys, Chernoff, DeVet, et al. (2001) and Ireys, Chernoff, Stein, et al.
(2001) respectively.

Be mindful of hyphenated names, particularly hyphenated first

names in your reference list. If an author or editor has a hyphenated
first name, include first initials for both separated by a hyphen. For
example: Lamour, J.-B. for Jean-Baptiste Lamour.
If your reference list includes publications by two or more
authors with the same last name, you should include the first
initial in all in-text citations in order to help the reader avoid
confusion.

Suffixes like "Jr." or "III" are not included in in-

text citations but are included in the reference
list.
