What is an example of APA book chapter citation?

The format for an APA book chapter citation depends slightly on whether you accessed the chapter online or in print. Here are examples:

Example 1: Print Book Chapter

Key things to note:

* Italics: The book title is italicized.

* Capitalization: Chapter titles follow sentence-case capitalization. Book titles use title-case capitalization.

* Page Numbers: Include the page range for the chapter.

* Editors: Use "Eds." for editors (plural). If there's only one editor, use "Ed."

* DOI: If available, use the Digital Object Identifier (DOI). This is preferred over a URL.

* URL: Use a URL only if a DOI is not available. Make sure the URL is properly formatted and working.

Remember to always double-check your citation against the most recent APA Publication Manual for any updates to the style guide. Citation generators can be helpful but should be used with caution, always proofreading the generated citation to ensure accuracy.
