edited works

Revised published writings

Edited works are publications assembled or revised by an editor rather than written entirely by one author.

The term typically refers to anthologies, collections, or compilations where an editor selects, arranges, and sometimes introduces contributions from multiple writers: The volume is an edited work containing essays by twelve scholars.

Academic citations distinguish edited works from single-authored books.
