For the singular "editor", received wisdom says the abbreviation is "ed." - with a period - because "editor" does not end on a d (as "ed" does).

Similarly/conversely (take your pick!) the abbreviation for the plural, "editors" is often given as "eds" - no period because both "editors" and "eds" end in s.

I think this is a bit daft - it makes reference lists look inconsistent. And of course "clean" text is all the fashion these days e.g. no period after "Mr" etc.

So I prefer just "eds" and "ed". But ultimately one must (usually) go with the publishers styles.
