Tips for citing a book
- Titles are in sentence case and not italicized: only the first word and proper nouns are capitalized.
- Include the edition only from the 2nd onward (2nd ed., Rev ed.).
- The 9th edition omits the place of publication — give the publisher name only.
- If a book has editors but no authors, the editors lead the reference, followed by “editor” or “editors”.
