Editors' names are normally given as they appear on the title pages of their books.

Title of the Article

<- help

English-language book titles and subtitles are capitalized headline-style. In headline style, the first and last words of the title and subtitle and all other major words are capitalized.

Name of Encyclopedia

<- help

English-language book titles and subtitles are capitalized headline-style. In headline style, the first and last words of the title and subtitle and all other major words are capitalized.

Publishing City

<- help

The place to be included is the one that usually appears on the title page but sometimes on the copyright page of the book cited -- the city where the publisher's main editorial offices are located. If two cities are given (Chicago and London), include only the first city.

Publishing Company

<- help

The publisher's name may be given either in full title or in a somewhat abbreviated form. The shorter forms are preferred in most bibliographies. The form should, however, reflect the publisher's name at the date of publication, not the current name if the name has changed.

Year Published

<- help

Only the year of publication is appropriate. The date is found on the title page or, more commonly, on the copyright page. It is usually the same as the copyright date.

Web URL

<- help

When citing the online version of a book, include the URL–or, if available, DOI–as part of the citation.
