Using OSCOLA: Edited books and encyclopaedias
Edited Books
Sometimes books contain collections of chapters which are written by different authors and collated by an editor or editors. To reference a chapter in an edited book you need to record the following details:
Chapter author, 'Title of chapter' in Book Editor (ed), Book title (Publisher Year)
Example:
- PA Thomas and A Rees, 'Law Students - Getting In and Getting On' in PA Thomas (ed), Discriminating Lawyers (Cavendish 2000)

Encyclopaedias
Cite an encyclopedia much as you would a book, but exclude any overseeing authors, editors and the publisher. The edition and year of issue or reissue should be included in your citation.
Example:
- Sweet & Maxwell's Encyclopedia of Employment Law, para 6J-601 (R 70 April 2009)
- Halsbury's Laws (5th edn, 2010) vol 57, para 53, Noter Up Issue 454 April 2011
