The initial "R" appears instead of the author's first name, even though the author's full first name appears on the source. In the title, only the first words of title and subtitle and the proper name are capitalized. 2. A book with two to six authors
An ampersand (&) precedes the last author's name. 3. A book with seven or more authors
Substitute "et al." (Latin abbreviation for "and others") for all authors' names after the first six.
List the editors' names as if they were authors, but follow the last name with "(Eds.)."—or "(Ed.)." with only one editor. Note the periods inside and outside the final parenthesis.
The name of the translator appears in parentheses after the title, followed by a comma, "Trans.," a closing parenthesis, and a final period. Note also the absence of periods in "DC."
For a work with a group author—such as a research group, government agency, or corporation—begin the entry with the group name. In the references list, alphabetize the work as if the first main word (excluding The, A, and An) were an author's last name. 7. A book with no author or an anonymous book
When no author is named, list the work under its title, and alphabetize it by the first main word (excluding The, A, An). For a work whose author is actually given as "Anonymous," use this word in place of the author's name and alphabetize it as if it were a name:
8. Two or more works by the same author(s) published in the same year
When citing two or more works by exactly the same author(s), published in the same year—as in the examples above—arrange them alphabetically by the first main word of the title and distinguish the sources by adding a letter to the date. Both the date and the letter are used in citing the source in your text. When citing two or more works by exactly the same author(s) but not published in the same year, arrange the sources in order of their publication dates, earliest first.
The edition number in parentheses follows the title and is followed by a period. 10. A work in more than one volume
The first entry cites a single volume (5) in the eight-volume set. The second cites all eight volumes. Use the abbreviation "Vol." or "Vols." in parentheses, and follow the closing parenthesis with a period. In the absence of an editor's name, the description of volumes would follow the title directly: The collected works of Abraham Lincoln (Vol. 5). 11. An article or chapter in an edited book
Give the publication date of the collection (1999 above) as the publication date of the article or chapter. After the article or chapter title and a period, say "In" and then provide the editors' names (in normal order), "(Eds.)" and a comma, the title of the collection, and the page numbers of the article in parentheses.
