Wintec's APA Referencing Guides

The Wintec APA Guides, with tips and help!

Craft, J. A. Understanding pathophysiology (Chapter from the book)

List, S. (2015). Altered cellular functions. In J. A. Craft, C. J. Gordon, S. E. Huether, K. L. McCance, V. L. Brashers, & N. S. Rote (Eds.), Understanding pathophysiology (2nd Australasian ed., pp. 54-72). Chatswood, Australia: Elsevier.

Evans, K. Psychiatric and mental health nursing (Chapter from the book)

The people listed on the title page are not the authors of all the chapters; each chapter has separate authors listed. On page vii, the people named on the title page are listed as editors, so this is, in fact, an edited book with chapters by individual authors.

Health assessment in nursing (Chapter from the book)

The information on the title page is confusing. The original (5th) US edition by Weber and Kelly  has been extensively re-written by various people, listed on page v, and Lewis and Foley have edited the entire book. Therefore Weber and Kelly's names are not included in the reference.
