Polish term or phrase: książka zbiorowa
"artykuły i rozdziały w książkach zbiorowych"

chodzi o roczniki, ksiażki naukowe, biuletyny itp. Niby prosta rzecz a nic mi nie pasuje... może compilation, collective book? Bedę wdzięczna za pomoc.

Explanation:
propozycja, analogicznie do "praca zbiorowa"

Oczywiście, jeśli chodzi o "zbiór różnych tekstów", to anthology, jak najbardziej. Ale np. podręcznik akademicki napisany przez 2 albo więcej autorów, to już nie antologia, a "book by multiple authors". Nie sądzę, żeby funkcjonowało wspólne określenie.

If this is not suitable, I would select "compilation."

agree  Michal Glowacki: If it's a book containing several texts by different authors - yes. If not, see my reply above ;)

agree  KeyCheck: Wyrzuciłabym "written", wystarczy "books by multiple authors". A jeżeli jest to zbiór artykułów (z jednym lub kilkoma redaktorami), to zdecydowanie "anthology".

  -> dzięki, faktycznie "written" jest tu zbędne :)
