📖 Books / Book Chapters

A book chapter is a section within an edited book, where different chapters are typically written by different authors. This is distinct from a book where you are the author of the entire work, so make sure to use the correct category:

  • Full Book: Research output: Book/Report › Book:
    • Books, reports and anthologies/collected works where the author(s) are responsible for the entire work. The work may have an ISBN.
  • Chapter: Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter
    • Books, reports and anthologies/collected works where the author(s) are only responsible for part of the work, e.g. a chapter. The work may have an ISBN.
