How to cite a chapter in a book with BibTeX

Question

I don't know how to cite a chapter written by an author that is not the editor or author of the book. How can I get the following citation?

Grandstrand, O. (2004), 'Innovation and Intellectual Property Rights', in J. Fagerberg, D.C. Mowery and R.R. Nelson (Eds.), Oxford Handbook of Innovation. Oxford University Press: Oxford.

Answer 1

Perhaps not exactly how you want it to appear (that requires probably selecting the right bibtex style) but here is something close with the standard:

\begin{filecontents}{test.bib}
@inbook{ X,
author = {O. Grandstrand},
chapter = {Innovation and Intellectual Property Rights},
crossref = {Y}
}

@book{ Y,
editor = {J. Fagerberg and D.C. Mowery and R.R. Nelson}, 
title      = {Oxford Handbook of Innovation},
booktitle = {Oxford Handbook of Innovation},
publisher = {Oxford University Press},
address = {Oxford},
year = 2004
}
\end{filecontents}

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\nocite{*}

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{test}

\end{document}

This results in

There are two reference here (both the chapter and the book) because I use \notcite on all antries. If just the chapter is cited then the result would be

The problem is that most if not all styles (that I know of) do not use both author and editor in a single entry even though it would make a lot of sense here. They only do that for @inproceedings and @incollection (I see that you found the latter by now yourself).

By default, BibTeX adds a separate citation to the whole book cross referenced when there are 2 or more different citations that crossref a complete work (even if the complete work is not explicitly cited anywhere. On modern BibTeX implementations this can be customized when running BibTeX by using the switch --min-crossref=<number>.

Answer 2

I believe that the entry type you want to use is called @incollection. E.g., the entry could be:

@incollection{X,
  author      = "O. Grandstrand",
  title       = "Innovation and Intellectual Property Rights",
  editor      = "J. Fagerberg and D.C. Mowery and R.R. Nelson",
  booktitle   = "Oxford Handbook of Innovation",
  publisher   = "Oxford University Press",
  address     = "Oxford",
  year        = 2004,
}

Using the plain bibliography style would generate the following entry in a bibliography:

Addendum: If you use the chicago bibliography style (along with the natbib package, say), you'll get:

Answer 3

Thank you all... finally, using @incollection, it worked.

@INCOLLECTION{X,
  author={Grandstrand, O.},
  year= 2004, 
  title={Innovation and Intellectual Property Rights}, 
  editor = {J. Fagerberg and D. C. Mowery and R. R. Nelson}, 
  booktitle= {Oxford Handbook of Innovation}, 
  publisher= {Oxford University Press},
  address= {Oxford}, 
}

Answer 4

use

@inbook{test,
  author={Grandstrand, O.},
  year= 2004, 
  chapter={Innovation and Intellectual Property Rights}, 
  editor = {J. Fagerberg and D. C. Mowery and R. R. Nelson}, 
  title= {Oxford Handbook of Innovation}, 
  publisher= {Oxford University Press},
  address= {Oxford}, 
}

with biblatex and style authoryear I'll get:
