How to Cite Multiple Chapters in a Book Using ASA
The American Sociological Association has established standards for citing sources used in research papers. When using multiple chapters in a single book, ASA style requires you to list each chapter as a separate reference. To properly cite a chapter, you will need specific information about the chapter, including the chapter name and page numbers for the chapter.
