Checklist:


Did you check if you are holding a new edition or a new print run in your hands? It is called a new edition (abbrev. ed.) if the book’s content changes. If a book is otherwise identical and has simply been reprinted, it is called a new print run. You don’t include this information in the reference list, whereas you must mention which edition you use unless it’s the 1st edition.

Test yourself!

Is it mandatory to specify the author of a specific chapter in a citation-parenthesis or in the reference list?

Correct! You don’t need to mention the authors of chapters of books that don’t have editors.
This is unfortunately incorrect. Give it another try.
Do you have to include individual chapters of books which don’t have editors, but individual authors of chapters?
That’s right! You only need to include the entire book once in the bibliography.
That’s incorrect. Give it another try.
