citing from preface of editorial

Kindly help me to enter the data while citing from the preface of the editorial of a journal

    What exactly do you mean? Journal editorials are usually published and cited just like other articles in the journal. You should just enter it as a Journal Article.

    Thanks for reply bwiernik. By doing so it shows (Editor 1997, 199). in my document and in the bibliography,
    Editor. 1997. “Modernity, Postmodernity and Religion.” Journal of Dharma XXII (3): 199–07.
    . I feel something is wrong with my way of data filling

    When I find myself with an editorial that only has an author listed as "Editor", I do one of 2 things in the Zotero record: 1) Use a single-field and enter: Editor-journal name; or 2) Add the word "editorial" within parens to the title of the article and for the author I either list "Anonymous" or "No author(s) listed.

    In your example the author name would be, Editor- Journal of Dharma. I would not list the editor-in-chief's name, Jose Nandhikkara, as the author because the true author could be any of the editorial staff.

    Thanks, DWL-SDCA. I think it would work
