Hi Timothy, Thanks for your response. I've only come across online first book chapters twice -- both within the past 3 months. It may be an isolated phenomena of large, edited handbooks published by Springer. They now seem to be calling them "living reference works". The first instance I came across was with this book: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-2779-6 The chapters themselves did not have page numbers assigned to them when I accessed it. I came across the same thing again today with another springer handbook: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-51949-4 As you can see, individual chapters were published online first at various times throughout 2018 but the book itself is due for publication in February, 2019: https://www.springer.com/us/book/9783319672854

I want to compare multiple documents by the same (institutional) author: (Name of Institution A, 2016, cf. 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2013, 2018), or (Name of Institution A, 2016, cf. Name of Institution A, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2013, 2018)?

I'm citing both a chapter from and an introduction from an edited book that is referred to by the publishers as a "classic edition". The second edition of the book was published in 1997 and the "classic" was published in 2015. The introduction to the classic edition, which I am also citing, is new. As far as I can tell from glancing at the table of contents in the old version, the classic edition seems to be the same as the second edition, but I cannot confirm this without painstakingly comparing the two word for word which seems excessive. So what do I do here? Do I treat it like an edition of a book or like a reprint? And, if I do treat it like a reprint, then how do I cite/reference the introduction (which is new and not a reprint)? Do I cite one like a reprint and the other like an edition? Thanks in advance!

What if you're trying to reference a book chapter that has a DOI and was published online first in an advanced publication? I've landed on: Author, A. A. (year of posting). Title of chapter. In A. Editor (Ed.), Title of book. Advance online publication. https://doi.org/1010100/a01 But I'm not sure what to do about (a) the page numbers, or (b) where the "advance online publication" piece should go--should it go: in square brackets the way I would if it were a specific type of ebook, before the doi like it did for a journal article, in brackets before page numbers after the book title as though it were the edition, or something else? Thanks in advance!
