Book Sections with different authors

I am not sure how to add book chapters into the database when the authors of the chapters are all different.If I have the whole book, I'd just list the book, but if I have just one chapter the chapter is listed as a 'book section' under the name of the book editors.This way the author of the chapter does not feature at all.So I would have to turn it into a journal article instead....What I sometimes do is make the 'author' the chapter author' instead of the book editors, but obviously this is not right.Many of my study books are like this.Any tips?Thanks.
  • Not sure I follow.
    This sounds right to me?

    Could you provide an example of a citation how you would like it to look?

    Sorry about not being clear!

    I usually drag my PDF (a chapter) to the database and then create (or it creates it for me) a parent item.The parent item will list the book under the book author's name and so the 'section' will no longer appear in the database.

    And so I think I've just solved my own issue - I suppose the parent item should be a book section, not a book.But when I do that, I cannot see the book's editors anywhere as the section will just be listed under the section author's name...I can see there is a space for the book title, but I cannot put the book editors/authors anywhere?
  • Aha, add an additional author!Thanks
