Caicedo | If you click on the MR entry for either of the two chapters you list you will see the text "{For the collection containing this paper see MR1326617.}", and the MR number is actually a link that takes you to the entry for the book (the one listed in Francois's answer. | |

About 4.5 years ago I noticed that Set Theory. An Introduction to Large Cardinals by Frank R. Drake (1974) was not in the MathSciNet database. (In fact, I believe I noticed this sometime in the early 2000s, but didn't do anything then.) I brought this to the attention of someone there (a frequent mathoverflow contributor, in fact), and while it's still not reviewed, it's at least indexed there. | |

| Oct 17, 2020 at 15:51 | comment | added | Sam Hopkins | In fact for the book you want, it's online here: link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-662-09873-8. And if you click any particular article in it, there's a little button at the top which says "Cite as" that tells you exactly how to cite it. | |
| Oct 17, 2020 at 15:49 | comment | added | Sam Hopkins | In general if a book is really a collection of different articles by different authors, you should cite the particular article you are referencing. In BibTex I'm pretty sure the right citation type is "incollection." | |

| Oct 17, 2020 at 15:44 | comment | added | AG learner | @SamHopkins I think I'm just surprised that this book is not on MathSciNet (I haven't encountered this situation before), but some chapters are there, which are not authored in three names, so I thought there are some reasons behind, maybe they want the chapters to be cited individually? That's why I ask this question. | |
| Oct 17, 2020 at 15:37 | comment | added | Sam Hopkins | I don't understand the question: it's of course appropriate to cite things that don't appear in MathSciNet (which is broad but not exhaustive). | |
