Works by a single editor or author...

GENERAL RULES FOR NAMES ON A REFERENCE PAGE:

  • Never list given names in the reference list – use initials only.
  • Invert given names and surnames of authors in reference list (i.e., surname is followed by initials; e.g., Naomi Klein > Klein, N.; Daniel P. Krowchuk > Krowchuck, D. P.; Yen-Fei Lin > Lin, Y.-F.)
  • If the author or editor has a multigenerational designation, give the generational designation after the initials (e.g., António Simões, Jr. > Simões, A., Jr.; Jens C. Appel, III > Appel, J. C., III).
  • If the first name is hyphenated: give the first initial, followed by a period, then a hyphen, followed by the second initial, and ending with a period – there will be no space between the first period and the hyphen (e.g., Yen-Fei Lin > Lin, Y.-F.).
  • If the book is edited, use "Ed." in parenthesis after the editors initials (e.g., Simões, A., Jr. (Ed.).)

If you are quoting or paraphrasing from a title where the editor is credited, never set your phrasing up as though the editor was the writer. It is not necessary to place the "Ed." in the in-text citation - the editor's surname is sufficient.

The book, The Bilingual Child: Research and Analysis of Existing Educational Themes, suggests that, "..." (Simões, 1976, p. 45). [Example of a short quotation.]

In the past, it has been suggest that ... (Simões, 1976). [Example of a paraphrase.]
