Further Information: For E-Books use “retrieved from” or “available from” followed by the URL to point readers to where they can find the E-Book. If a DOI is available, provide this instead. If a date is specified, provide this information. However, if not use n.d. in place of the date of publication.
Chapter/Section of E-Book
If referencing a chapter in an E-Book include chapter title and inclusive pages if source is paginated.

Further Information: Often for E-Books there are no authors for the entire E-Book. If this is so, start with the editor names and end the editor section with ‘ed.’ or ‘eds.’ depending on singularity or plurality. Include edition number if it is the second edition or above; mention of first edition is not necessary. For the URL, provide URL and verify that the link still works as close as possible to the time of publication.
