Vancouver style referencing for a book chapter

Brittany215

I am writing a paper for school and I need to reference a chapter from a book. I am using the Vancouver style. How do I do this?

You can reference a chapter from a book in Vancouver style by providing the author's last name, followed by a comma, the author's first initial, a period, the chapter title in quotation marks, the book title in italics, the city of publication, the name of the publisher, the year of publication, and the page range. For example:

Smith, J. "Chapter Title." Book Title. City of Publication: Publisher, Year of Publication. Page Range.

Referencing a chapter from a book in Vancouver style can be done in the following way:

Cite the author’s last name, followed by their first initial.
Date of publication in brackets.
Book title (italicized).
Edition number (if later than the first).
Place of publication.
Publisher.
Page numbers in the chapter.

For example:

Smith, J. (2016). The joys of reading. (2nd ed.). London: Penguin Press. pp. 56-75.
