In-text referencing when paraphrasing from an article or a chapter written by one author in an edited book with two to three editors.

There are two options for in-text referencing:

1. Adding a citation at the end of a sentence.
2. Using the author’s name as part of your sentence.

Essential information to include:

• Cite the family name of the author who wrote the article/chapter, not the editors of the book.
• No initials are required.
• The year of publication.
