Other Contributors,
Aside from authors who have a prominent place at the beginning of the entry, you may include any other contributors who are important to your research or who contributed to the material. Precede each name (or each group of names if more than one person performed the same function) with a description of the role.
Here are some common descriptions:
adapted by
edited by
translated by
directed by
illustrated by
introduction by
narrated by
performance by
Guest editors and general editors cannot be described as above. The role must instead be expressed as a noun followed by a comma.
general editor, Edwin H. Cady
Editors of scholarly works and translators of works generally published in another language are usually recorded in the documentation because they play key roles.

If a source has many contributors, include the ones that are most relevant to your project. If you are writing about a television episode and are focusing on a character, include the series editor and the actor who portrays the character.

If a contributor played only a small role in an entire collection, include the contributor after the title of the source rather than after the title of the collection. In the following example, the translators translated just one story in a collection.
