Checklist:
Remember to check if the volume you’re using has an individual title. If the book has an own title and a volume number, you must include them.
If you’re refering to a complete multi-volume work, you need to include the publishing years of all volumes (e.g. 2003-2006).
Did you check if the volume has one or more editors? Remember to include all editors, even if only the last one has a (red.) or (ed.) behind their name.
Test yourself!
