Citing encyclopedias and dictionaries
Turabian recommends citing encyclopedia articles only in notes and not in a bibliography, but we recommend following the "parts of a book" style, if you do wish to include them in your bibliography.
The citation should include:
- author (if given)
- entry term
- source
- edition and volume
- place of publication
- publisher
- date of publication
Example:
Janos, Adam G. "Cold War." in Encyclopedia Americana. 6th ed., Vol.3, New York: Macmillan, 1996.
An alternative form would simply include:
- encyclopedia title
- edition or volume
- s.v. (sub verbo, which means "under the word...")
Example:
Encyclopedia Americana, 6th ed., s.v. "Cold War."
