Library Guides: APA 6th referencing style: Book chapter

Referencing multiple chapters from same book

If there are different authors for each chapter, you need to reference each chapter you use.
If you use multiple chapters from a book with different authors for each chapter, you still need to reference each chapter you use. (This is because you need to acknowledge who wrote the work you are using, not the person who edited/compiled the book).
If the book does not have chapters written by different authors, you only need to reference the book. (Use the Book reference type)
