How to quote a book edited by multiple editors?
When citing a book edited by multiple editors, cite all editors' names in the bibliography/reference list entry according to your designated citation style guide. This is standard practice in academic writing.
List editors' names on the title page in the order provided by the source, separated by commas. Place the abbreviation "ed." for one editor or "eds." for multiple editors after the last editor's name. The name order should not be altered. Always include the full list of editors unless specifically instructed otherwise by an exception in a style guide. Consistency in punctuation and abbreviations is crucial for clarity and accuracy.
In the bibliography, format editor names as follows: Last Name, First Initial. (Ed.) or (Eds.). In-text citations should use the editors' last names (e.g., "Smith & Jones, 2020" for two editors or "Smith et al., 2020" for more than two if the style permits). Provide the complete book title, publication year, publisher, and location. Always verify formatting against your required style guide (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago).
