Key things to note:
* Italicize the book title, but not the chapter title.
* Include the editors' names and the abbreviation "(Eds.)" if the chapter is part of an edited book.
* Provide page numbers for the chapter.
* If accessed online, provide the URL or DOI. The DOI is preferred.
* Always double-check the specific publication details to ensure accuracy.
Remember to replace the bracketed information with the actual details from your source. If your chapter has a different structure (like a collection of essays), you'll need to adapt accordingly, but these examples provide a solid foundation. Consult the official APA style guide for the most up-to-date and comprehensive information.
