How do I cite a source with multiple authors (two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and more!)?
Answer
For the reference entry, input author names in the order that they appear in the publication -- Author's Last Name, First Initial. Middle Initial. For one or two authors, include the author name(s) in every citation
(Nelson & Smith, 2020) or (Nelson & Smith, 2020, para. 5) for a quotation.
Three or more authors include the name of only the first author plus “et al.” in every citation
(First author’s last name et al., Year) Example: (Johnson et al., 2019)
