APA Format: Edited Collections             


 

 When an editor or editors is listed for a text, a typical reference entry will appear as follows:

 
Higgins, J. (Ed.). (1988). Psychology. New York:  Norton.

 

Grice, H. P., & Gregory, R. L. (Eds.). (1968). Early

      language development. New  York: McGraw-Hill.

 

Begin with the last name of the editor(s) followed by the initials. Then the abbreviation "Ed." or "Eds." appears in parentheses. Date of publication comes next, also in parentheses. The title should be italicized, but only the first word should be capitalized. Place of publication follows, then the publisher. Use a colon after the place of publication. Each portion of the entry should be separated by a period and two spaces.

 

For more specific information, consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (Fifth Edition).
